PREFACE. 


IN  the  year  1892,  the  Miles  Park  Presbyterian  Church,  feeling 
the  urgent  need  of  enlarged  facilities  for  Sunday-school  work, 

undertook  to  erect  a  new  building  costing  about  ^8,500. 
With  no  prospect  of  large  subscriptions,  and  fully  sensible  of  the 
heavy  responsibility  of  the  undertaking,  but  with  faith  in  its 
ultimate  accomplishment,  the  work  was  commenced,  and  the 
building  dedicated  January  15,  1893.  About  $5,000  has  been 
raised  in  small  amounts  for  the  payment  of  this  building,  no 
appeal  having  been  made  to  the  sister  churches  of  the  city  for 
aid,  although  several  voluntary  subscriptions  from  the  brethren 
of  those  churches  were  gratefully  received. 

In  view  of  assisting  to  clear  the  building  of  the  remaining 
debt  of  $3,500,  this  book  was  conceived  and  issued.  That  finan- 
cial help  will  result  from  the  project  is  anticipated,  but  at  the 
same  time  the  authors  have  harbored  the  secret  wish,  that  even  a 
larger  benefit  might  result  to  the  Pre.sbyterian  churches  of  Cleve- 
land, through  the  issue  of  this  history. 

We  hope  that  it  will  present  to  all  members  of  our  churches, 
a  clear  understanding  of  the  growth  and  strength  of  Cleveland 
Presbyterianism  as  a  whole,  as  well  as  the  responsibility  for  the 
use  of  the  talents,  intrusted  to  us  as  a  denomination. 

While  aiming,  then,  to  help  the  Miles  Park  Presbyterian 
Church,  financially,  our  prayer  is  that  this  hand-book  of  informa- 
tion, imperfect  as  it  may  be,  will  be  the  means  of  binding  together 
the  churches  connected  with  the  Cleveland  Presbytery  in  a  more 
intelligent  and  consecrated  union,  for  larger  service  to  Him  who 
has,  heretofore,  blessed  our  work  with  a  large  measure  of  success. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  Arthur  C.  Li'di.ow. 

Cleveland^  July,  i8q6. 


Still  way  the  call  to  praise  and  prayer

l)i$torv  of  tbe  Clevelana  Presbytery. 


THE  first  effectual  efforts  to  establish  and  sustain  institutions 
of  reli.s:ion  upon  the  Western  Reserve  were  made  by  Pres- 
byterians and  Congregationalists,  the  former  emigrating  from 
Pennsylvania,  and  commencing  settlements  in  the  southeastern 
part,  the  latter  emigrating  from  New  England,  and  forming 
settlements  in  the  northeastern  part  of  the  Reserve.  These  two 
religious  bodies  were  in  advance  of  all  others. 

The  first  two  missionaries,  sent  into  these,  then  western 
wMlds,  were  the  Rev.  William  Wick,  a  Presbyterian  from  Penn- 
sylvania, and  the  Rev.  Joseph  Badger,  a  Congregationalist  from 
New  England.  The  Rev.  William  Wick  came  in  1799,  three 
years  after  the  first  settlements  were  made  at  Youngstown  by 
emigrants  from  Pennsylvania,  and  at  Conneaut  by  New  Eng- 
landers.  He  was  a  young  minister,  and  preached  his  first  sermon 
at  Youngstown. 

The  Rev.  Jo.seph  Badger  came  in  1800  from  Massachusetts, 
with  a  commission  from  the  Connecticut  Missionary  Society,  as  a 
missionary  to  the  Western  Reserve. 

These  two  men  became  intimate  friends,  and  together  planned 
the  advancement  of  Christ's  cause.  Mr.  Wick,  together  with 
other  Presbyterian  ministers,  received  commissions  from  the 
Congregational  Misssionary  Societies,  but  at  the  same  time  as 
the  pioneer  churches  increased  in  number,  they  assumed  the  form 
of  a  Presbytery. 

The  "Plan  of  Union"  was  devised,  which  brought  the 
ministers  and  churches  of  both  denominations  together  in  Chris- 
tian effort,  allowing  each  to  retain  denominational  affiliations. 

October  15,  1814,  the  Synod  of  Pittsburgh  erected  out  of  the 
Presbytery  of  Hartford,  the  Presbytery  of  Grand  River,  which  was 
to  occupy  the  \\hole  of  the  Western  Reserve,  with  the  exception  of 
ten  towns  in  the  southea.stern  part.  At  the  Euclid  Church  (now 
Ea.st  Cleveland)  this  new  Presbytery  met  November  8,  1814. 
Three  ministers.  Revs.  Joseph  Badger,  Giles  H.  Covvles  and 
Thomas  Barr  were  present,  also  two  lay  delegates,  Elder  J.  Ruple 


lO  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM, 

of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  Euclid,  and  Deacon  M.  Cook,  of 
the  Burton  Congregational  Church.  The  Rev.  Simeon  Wood- 
ruff was  examined  and  admitted  to  membership  in  this  new 
Presbytery. 

At  Burton,  February  14,  18 15,  a  Confession  of  Faith  was 
adopted  for  the  churches,  under  the  care  of  this  Presbytery. 
That  year  seven  ministers  and  eight  churches  were  reported 
to  the  General  Assembly.  The  ministers  were  Revs. 
Badger,  Barr,  Cowles,  Seward,  Coe,  Woodruff,  and  Hanford  ; 
the  churches,  those  at  Austinburgh,  Euclid,  Aurora,  Hudson, 
Mantua,  Nelson,  Burton  and  Rootstown,  with  a  membership  of 
two  hundred  and  thirty-nine.  The  next  two  years  the  ministers 
who  were  admitted  to  the  Presbytery  were  Revs.  J.  Leslie,  L.  Hum- 
phrey, C.  Pitkin,  J.  Treat  and  A.  Coe.  The  increase  of  churches 
was  larger,  those  at  Harpersfield,  Tallmadge,  Vernon,  Sharon, 
Painesville,  Hambden,  Greene,  Johnston,  Williamsfield,  Dover, 
Madison,  Kingsville,  Ashtabula,  Brecksville,  Branfield,  Bloom- 
field,  Streetsboro,  Stowe,  and  Harrisville,  being  added. 

In  October  of  18 18,  the  S5'nod  of  Pittsburgh  made  the 
Presbytery  of  Portage  a  part  of  the  Grand  River  Presbytery. 
This  new  body  held  its  first  meeting  at  Hudson,  December  8, 
18 18.  Five  years  later,  in  1823,  the  Presbytery  of  Huron  was 
formed  to  occupy  all  the  territory  west  of  Cuyahoga  and  Portage 
counties,  to  the  west  line  of  the  state. 

At  Hudson,  September  27,  1825,  according  to  an  act  of  the 
General  Assembly,  the  Synod  of  the  Western  Reserve  was  organ- 
ized, embracing  the  Presbyteries  of  Grand  River,  Portage  and 
Huron.  The  Rev.  Joseph  Badger  preached  the  opening  sermon 
from  the  text  :  "  We  preach  not  ourselves,  but  Christ  Jesus  the 
Lord."  Thirty-three  ministers  constituted  this  Synod.  During 
the  month  of  May,  1827,  the  General  Assembly  created  a  new 
Presbytery,  that  of  Detroit,  to  occupy  the  whole  territory  of 
Michigan.  This  new  Presbytery  was  attached  to  the  Synod  of 
the  Western  Reserve. 

In  the  following  September,  at  its  meeting  in  Nelson,  the 
Synod  created  the  Presbytery  of  Trumbull,  out  of  the  Presbytery 
of  Grand  River.  Thus  the  Synod  of  Western  Reserve,  at  this 
time,  embraced  the  five  Presbyteries  of  Grand  River,  Portage, 
Huron,  Detroit,  and  Trumbull.     At  its  meeting,  held  in  Euclid, 


HISTORY    OF   THE    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERY.  II 

October  6,  1S30,  this  Synod  organized  the  Presbytery  of  Cleve- 
land, out  of  the  counties  of  Cuyahoga,  Lorain,  and  Medina,  with 
their  ministers  and  churches.  The  ministers,  who  were  charter 
members  of  this  new  Cleveland  Presbytery,  were  Joseph  Edwards, 
Simeon  Woodruff,  Israel  Shailer,  Stephen  V.  Barnes,  Alfred  H. 
Betts,  Daniel  W.  Lathrop,  John  McCrea,  Stephen  Peet,  Harvey 
Lyon,  and  Joel  Talcott. 

The  Cleveland  Presbytery  held  its  first  meeting  at  Dover, 
October  26,  1830.  The  Rev.  Joseph  Edwards,  who  was  ap- 
pointed to  preside  at  the  organization,  was  absent,  and  his  place 
was  taken  by  Rev.  Simeon  Woodruff,  senior  minister  present. 
The  twenty-four  congregations,  which  composed  the  Cleveland 
Presbytery  at  its  organization,  were  those  of  Dover,  Avon, 
Strong.sville,  Sheffield,  Medina,  Brun.swick,  Brownhelm,  Brecks- 
ville,  Brooklyn,  Granger,  Bath,  Westfield,  Euclid,  Elyria,  Ridge- 
ville,  W'ellington,  Wadsworth,  Richfield,  Cleveland,  Penfield, 
Harrisville,  Hinckley,  Columbia,  and  Guilford. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Western  Reserve  Synod,  held  in  Cleve- 
land in  1836,  two  new  Presbyteries  were  created  out  of  the 
Presbytery  of  Cleveland,  namely:  those  of  Lorain  and  Medina,  in- 
cluding all  the  ministers  and  churches  in  those  counties.  Thus 
in  the  growth  of  Christian  work,  the  Presbytery  of  Cleveland 
was  reduced  to  the  geographical  limits  of  Cuyahoga  County,  and 
remained  within  these  bounds  twenty- seven  years. 

In  1863,  the  Synod  annexed  the  Presbytery  of  Portage  to 
that  of  Cleveland,  thus  adding  fourteen  ministers  and  six 
churches.  In  1866,  the  Presbytery  of  Elyria  was  dissolved,  and 
part  of  its  ministers  and  churches  added  to  the  Presbytery  of 
Cleveland  and  Portage,  and  in  about  this  form  the  Presbytery  of 
Cleveland  and  Portage  remained,  until  the  Reconstruction,  or 
Reunion  of  the  Old  and  New  School  branches  of  the  church  in 
1870.  At  that  time,  most  of  the  territory  of  old  Portage  was 
dropped,  and  there  was  added  the  Old  School  Presbytery  of 
Western  Reserve,  which  had  occupied  the  same  territory,  and 
the  Presbytery  of  Grand  River,  thus  adding  eight  ministers,  and 
the  following  churches  to  the  Cleveland  Presbyter3%  namely  : 
Nottingham,  Rome,  Orwell,  Northfield,  Bedford,  Ashtabula, 
Kingsville,  Guilford,  Lafayette,  and  Springfield.

religious  work  in  the  vicinity  of  Cleveland,  were  organized  as 
Congregational  churches,  but  united  with  the  Presbytery  and 
Synod  under  the  "Plan  of  Union,"  which  was  approved  by 
the  Congregational  churches  of  New  England,  and  by  the 
General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  but  this  "Plan 
of  Union,"  under  which  the  churches  seemed  to  enjoy  great 
prosperity,  was  dissolved.  The  first  step  which  caused  this 
dissolution,  was  the  attitude  taken  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  in 
general,  toward  the  Congregationalists.  The  Presbyterians  of  the 
Western  Reserve  continued  to  labor  in  loving  union  with  their 
brethren,  the  Congregationalists,  and  in  other  parts  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  there  was  little  sympathy  with  the  crusade, 
which  arose  against  Congregationalism.  In  a  portion  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  however,  there  arose  a  war  upon  doctrinal 
errors,  which  were  said  to  exist  exclusivelj^  in  regions,  where  the 
Congregational  element  abounded.  This  war  upon  New  England 
Congregationalism  was  well  adapted  to  weaken  the  fraternal 
feeling,  which  had  prevailed  upon  the  Western  Reserve.  The 
final  action  of  the  Presbyterian  General  Assembly,  in  ex- 
scinding, in  1833,  four  Presbyterian  Synods,  which  were  sus- 
pected of  New  England  heresy,  thus  forming  the  Old  and  New 
School  Presbyterian  Churches,  was  well  calculated  to  lead  Con- 
gregationalists to  think  that  it  was  time  to  look  out  for  them- 
selves.    Strong  denominational  spirit  arose  on  both  sides. 

Then  there  were  some  Congregational  churches  that  had  not 
connected  themselves  with  the  Presbytery.  They  were  wholly 
independent  of  any  association.  It  was  thought  desirable  to  look 
after  such  churches,  and  to  form  some  bond  of  union  among 
them.  Thus  Congregational  Conferences  and  Associations  were 
formed,  and  the  churches,  that  had  enjoyed  a  most  fraternal  union 
in  Christian  work,  began  to  assume  strictly  denominational 
life.  All  efforts,  made  to  heal,  seemed  only  to  widen  the 
breach,  and  many  other  things  arose  to  cause  great  disturbance 
in  the  church  life  of  that  period,  immediately  following  the 
abrogation  of  the  "  Plan  of  Union."  This  state  of  things  was 
aggravated  by  the  slavery  discussion.  In  all  ecclesiastical 
gatherings,  time  formally  given  to  councils  and  measures  for  the 
advancement  of  practical  church  work,  was  now  occupied  by  the 
most  heated  debate. 


HISTORY    OF   THE    CLEVELAND    PRE.SBYTERY.  1 3 

In  connection  with  the  slaverj-  discussion,  there  arose 
bitter  infidel  attacks,  and  discussions  on  temperance.  Pe- 
culiar "  Oberlin  Views,"  or  the  doctrine  of  Christian  Perfec- 
tion next  arose,  and  this  discussion  was  pressed  with  a  spirit  that 
evidently  ])roved  the  imperfection  of  the  advocates.  Last  of  all 
"  Millerism  "  stirred  up  the  churches.  Many  professing  Chris- 
tians were  so  carried  away  with  the  excitement,  that  they  pledged 
themselves  to  give  up  the  Bible  and  all  faith,  if  their  calculations 
regarding  the  Second  Coming  of  Christ  proved  erroneous. 

The  churches,  which  had  walked  together  in  the  comfort  of 
the  Holy  Spirit,  and  which  had  been  greatly  multiplied,  were 
thus  brought  into  a  period  of  strife  and  contention  ;  but  finally 
all  seems  to  have  been  overruled  for  good.  The  churches,  once 
under  a  "Plan  of  Union,"  now  form  the  basis  of  two  strong 
denominations,  and  peace  and  good  works  characterize  the  Presby- 
terian and  Congregational  Churches  of  Northern  Ohio.  In  the 
smaller  places  where  one  exists,  the  other  does  not  seek  to  go, 
while  in  the  city  the  field  is  large  enough  for  the  utmost  en- 
deavors of  both  denominations,  the  only  provocation  being  that 
unto  love  and  good  works. 


Cbaracter  of  glevelana  Presbyterlanism/ 


OF  Cleveland  Presbyterianism  it  may  be  said  that  it  was  from 
the  beginning  New  Englandized,  and  then  recruited  from 
New  York  rather  than  from  Pennsylvania.  In  type  of  theo- 
logical belief,  then,  it  has  always  been  liberal,  but  at  the  same 
time  evangelical  and  fairly  aggressive,  as  seen  in  its  missionary 
spirit.  The  network  of  churches  now  numbers  seventeen,  count- 
ing the  East  Cleveland,  Windermere,  and  Glenville  Churches, 
which  are  out  of  the  city  only  by  a  narrow  bound.  The  aggre- 
gate membership  of  these  churches  is  about  6,500.  All  the 
congregations  are  housed  in  admirable  buildings,  and  the  value 
of  the  property  is  fully  $1,000,000.  These  churches  furnish  sit- 
tings for  about  10,000  worshipers,  while  in  the  Sunday-schools 
there  are  6,500  scholars. 

The  reported  charities  of  the  churches  for  the  year  1895 
amounted  to  $342,754  ;  their  congregational  expenses,  in  part  for 
new  buildings,  amounted  to  $120,218 — a  total  of  $462,972.  Is 
it  a  wonder  that  in  the  church  at  large  there  is  the  title  given  us, 
"Mission  L,oving  Cleveland?"  From  1876  to  1896  the  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Cleveland  trebled  in  numbers,  while  the  popu- 
lation of  the  city  doubled.  In  all  the  undenominational  works  of 
charity  Cleveland  Presbyterians  take  a  conspicuous  part.  To  the 
various  Christian  Associations,  Friendly  Inns,  Kindergartens, 
Nurseries  and  Hospitals,  Presbyterians  give  hearty  support.  The 
Home  for  Aged  Women,  the  Children's  Aid  Society  Farm,  Home, 
and  Chapel,  the  Infants'  Rest,  the  Lend-a-Hand  Mission  build- 
ing, and  two  Day  Nurseries,  are  exclusively  the  gifts  of  Presby- 
terians and  their  affiliations. 

In  educational  matters  the  record  of  Cleveland  Presbyterians 
is  admirable.  Western  Reserve  College,  now  Adelbert  College 
of  Western  Reserve  University,  although  not  a  denominational 
institution,  has  received,  from  the  beginning  of  its  existence  at 
Hudson,  the  support  of  Cleveland  Presbyterians.  The  Old 
College  Church  was  a  Plan  of  Union  Church  under  the  care  of

the  Cleveland  Presbytery  until  it  was  disbanded  in  1882,  when 
the  college  was  removed  to  Cleveland.  Four  of  the  six  Presi- 
dents of  the  institution  were  Presbyterians  :  Presidents  Pierce, 
Hitchcock,  Cutler,  and  Haydn.

Presbyterian  money  has  gone  in  large  sums  to  this  institution, 
and  Mr.  Amasa  vStone,  whose  munificent  gifts  brought  the  college 
to  Cleveland,  where  it  now  thrives,  was  a  trustee  of  the  First 
Church.  It  is  not  claimed  that  Leonard  Case,  the  founder  of 
Case  School  of  Applied  vScience,  was  a  Presbyterian,  but  he  was 
the  personal  friend  of  Dr.  Goodrich,  and  a  pew-holder  to  the  day

much  for  the  Western  Reserve  Medical  School,  was  a  Trustee  of 
the  First  Church.  Mr.  James  F.  Clark,  Mr.  George  M3'gatt,

Backus,  Col.  John  Hay  and  W.  S.  Tyler,  Esq.,  are  names  of  those 
affiliated  in  one  way  or  another  with  the  Old  Stone  or  First 
Church,  and  from  these  persons  have  come  the  gifts  which  are 
making  Cleveland  such  a  leading  educational  center  to-day.  In 
the  past  seventeen  years  these  persons  have  given  over  $3,000,000 
to  educational  purposes. 

Besides  these  are  Mr.  H.  B.  Hurlbut,  munificent  patron  of 
art,  hospitals  and  education  ;  Mr.  E.  I.  Baldwin,  Mr.  T.  P. 
Handy,  Mr.  Dan  P.  Eells,  Mr.  T.  D.  Crocker  of  the  Second 
Church  ;  and  Mr.  Joseph  Perkins,  Mr.  H.  R.  Hatch  and  Miss 
Anne  Walworth  of  the  Euclid  Avenue  Church,  recognized 
among  the  large  donors  and  life-long  friends  of  education.  A 
host  of  others  are  worthy  of  honorable  mention.  Oberlin  College 
must  have  received  from  Cleveland  Presbyterians  about  $150,000. 
Eane  Seminary,  Berea,  Hampton  and  other  Southern  institutions 
have  had  generous  remembrance.  Great  as  the  past  may  seem 
in  this  direction  of  educational  and  charitable  work,  the  promise 
of  the  future  is  that  of  greater  things. 

The  work  of  Cleveland  Presbyterians  cannot  be  judged 
simply  by  its  denominational  statistics,  but  in  addition  to  these, 
there  is  the  broader  work  which  tends  toward  the  establishment 
of  the  kingdom  of  God  in  the  Citv  of  Cleveland.

ON  the  evening  of  November  13,  1869,  a  meeting  was  held  in 
the  chapel  of  the  Westminster  Church  to  consider  the  ex- 
tension of  Presbyterianism  in  the  City  of  Cleveland.  The  Pastors 
and  Elders  of  the  First,  Second,  Euclid  Street  and  Westminster 
Churches  were  present.  After  di.scussing  the  field,  a  committee 
was  appointed  consisting  of  Mes.srs.  R.  F.  Smith,  J.  B.  Meriam, 
S.  ly.  Severance  and  C.  S.  Bragg,  to  look  over  the  city  and  to 
report  at  a  future  meeting.  At  the  next  meeting  held  December 
10,  1869,  this  committee  reported  three  fields  as  inviting,  namely: 
Case  Avenue,  Woodland  Avenue  and  the  West  Side.  A  com- 
mittee consisting  of  Dr.  Lj'nian,  and  Messrs.  Bragg  and  vSmith 
was  appointed  to  draft  a  constitution,  and  Mr.  J.  B.  Meriam  was 
appointed  Treasurer.  The  meeting  adjourned  to  convene  the 
second  Monday  in  January,  1870.  At  that  meeting,  held  in  the 
Westminster  Churcli,  January  10,    1870,  sixteen   members  were

present.  Rev.  James  Eells,  D.D.,  was  called  to  the  chair,  and 
R.  F    Smith,  Esq.,  was  appointed  Secretary  pro  tern. 

The  committee,  appointed  to  draw  up  a  constitution,  brought 
in  Articles  of  Association  of  the  Cleveland  Presbyterian  Union. 
These  were  seven  in  number,  binding  the  churches  to  united 
effort  in  the  work  of  church  extension.  The  first  officers  were  :

James  Eells,  D.D  ;  Secretary,  Mr.  C  S.  Bragg;  Treasurer,  Mr.

Church;  Rev.  O.  A.  Lyman,  D.D.,  of  the  Euclid  Avenue 
Church,  and  Mr.  Geo.  H.  \V3man  of  the  Westminster  Church. 
The  second  year  Dr.  Eells  became  President,  and  Rev.  E.  B. 
Raffensperger  was  elected  Vice-President.  The  third  year  Mr, 
Raffcnsperger  became  President  of  the  ITnion,  and  in  1873  Mr. 
T.  P.  Handy  was  elected  to  that  office.  Dr.  Haydn  then  served 
as  President  for  two  years,  and  in  1875  Mr.  Handy  again  became 
President,  which  office  he  held  to  the  delight  of  the  whole  church 
until  1893,  "vvhen,  feeling  compelled  to  relinquish  the  duties  of  that 
office,  he  was  made  President  Emeritus,  and  Mr.  E.  H.  Sever- 
ance was  elected  President.

The  first  public  meeting  of  the  Union  was  held  in  the  First 
Church,  Sunday  evening,  April  21,  1872.  There  have  been  from 
time  to  time  Annual  Banquets.  A  resolution  was  passed  May  8, 
187 1,  to  hold  regular  quarterh'  meetings,  and  these  have  been 
the  principal  meetings  of  the  Union,  attended  for  the  most  part 
b}^  the  pastors  and  elders  of  the  churches. 


THE    PRESBYTERIAN    UNIO.V.  21 

About  five  3^ears  at^o  there  was  manifested  a  desire  to  have 
the  Union  incorported  that  it  niioht  hold  propert}^  and  that  it 
might  be  in  a  condition  to  be  the  recipient  of  any  becpiests  that 
might  be  made  for  the  extension  of  Christ's  kingdom  in  the  city. 
To  this  end  Articles  of  Incor])()ration  of  the  Pres])yterian  Union 
of  Cleveland  were  filed  at  Columbus,  April  24,  1S91;  the  in- 
corporators in  behalf  of  the  old  Union  being  Messrs.  S.  H.

or  special  meeting  called  for  the  purpose. 

During  the  year.s  of  the  exi.stence  of  this  Union,  it  has  given 
aid  to  the  churches  of  the  Presbytery  as  follows:  North  Church, 
$8,634;  Case  /Vvenue,  $5,466;  Willson  Avenue,  $2,350;  Beth- 
any, besides  the  building  ftmd  of  $9,400,  ^9,050,  a  total  of 
$18,450;  South  Church,  $8,924;  Madison  Avenue,  $3,000;  Glen- 
ville  Church,  $1,120;  Windermere  Chapel,  $1,400.  The  total 
amount  paid  to  churches  by  the  Union,  as  such,  is  about  $50,000. 
Besides  the.se  sums  of  money,  used  almost  wholly  for  current 
expenses,  the  Union  has  authorized  the  circulation  of  subscrip- 
tions which  brought  to  the  Woodland  Avenue,  Case  Avenue, 
North  and  Beckwith  Chttrches,  in  all,  over  $50,000.  For  Cal- 
vary, Bolton  and  Madison  Avenue  Churches  no  subscription  was 


THE    PRESBYTERIAN    UNION.  25 

circulated  outside  of  the  First  Churcli,  with  the  exception  that 
in  the  North  Church  some  money  was  raised  for  Madison  Ave- 
nue. The  l^nion  is  aiming-  to  extend  its  membership  to  inchide 
all  members  of  the  churches,  nevertheless  its  meetings  are 
attended,  as  in  the  earlier  days,  mainly  by  the  officers  of  the 
churches,  but  the  denomination  has  so  grown,  that  these  alone 
make  large  and  interesting  meetings.  Under  its  ]>resent  form  of 
organization  the  future  of  the  Union  cannot  but  be  one  of  great 
power  in  the  upbuilding  of  Chri.'^t's  kingdom,  through  the  exten- 
sion of  Presbyterian  Churches  in  the  city  of  Cleveland.  The 
officers  at  present  are  as  follows  : 

President,  Mr.  L-  H.  Severance;  President  Emeritus,  Hon. 
T.  P.  Handy  ;  Vice-President,  Mr.  vS.  P.  Fenn  ;  Treasurer,  Mr. 
C.  J.  Dockstader  ;  Secretary,  Mr.  William  A.  Galpin. 

Trustees— Mr.  J.  A.  vSeaton,  Mr.  J.  \V.  Walton,  Mr.  A.

Robinson.  Mr.  O.  N.  Ferry,  Mr.  William  A.  Galpin. 


Che  Presbyterian  Club  of  Cleveland, 


By  the  Secretary,  Rev.  Arthur  J.  IVang-h. 


u 


Rev.  E.  Bushnell,  D.D. 


"NFORTUNATELY  some 
obscurity  envelopes  the 
early  history  of  this  organization. 
The  proceedings  of  the  meetings 
were  recorded  in  three  volumes 
of  minutes,  the  first  of  which  is 
lost,  owing  to  the  death  of  the 
original  Secretary,  Rev.  An.son 
Smyth,  D.D.  The  writer  re- 
gards himself  as  one  of  the  char- 
ter members  of  the  Club,  but  it  is 
impossible  to  give  the  exact  date 
when  the  organization  occurred. 
He  remembers  to  have  attended 
some  of  the  early  gatherings  as 
long  ago  as  the  Spring  of  1881. 
The  objects  of  the  Club  have  been  social,  literary  and  spirit- 
ual. The  several  pastors  living  in  or  near  the  city  felt  the  need 
of  personal  touch,  each  with  the  other,  and  in  a  less  formal 
manner  than  at  the  occasional  gatherings  of  the  Presbytery. 
Nor  did  the  meetings  of  the  City  Ministers'  Union  .serve  exactly 
the  purposes  contemplated.  They  desired  to  know  one  another 
intimately  as  brothers  in  a  great  denomination,  to  come  together 
in  one  another's  homes,  to  dine  together,  to  discuss  matters  of 
common  interest,  and  to  gather  inspiration  in  a  common  toil. 
It  was  early  decided  that,  in  order  to  avoid  publicity  and  to  enjoy 
the  greatest  freedom  of  opinion  and  of;;^debate,  the  almost  omni- 
present reporter  shovild  be  excluded  from  the  Club  meetings. 
At  the  date  to  which  we  refer,  scarcely  a  single  church  had  the 
same  pastor  that  it  has  to-da}',  although  the  entire  membership 
of  the  Club  has  not  changed. 

Dr.  Smyth,  whom  we  have  mentioned,  although  well  along 
in    years,    was    supplying   churches    as    occasion    required.     Dr. 


THE    PRESBYTERIAN    CLUB.  27 

Eleroy  Curtis  was  in  the  church  at  Ncwburgh,  while  Dr.  Arthur 
Mitchell  had  just  entered  upon  his  pastorate  at  the  Stone  Church. 
Dr.  McGiffert  had  even  then  been  man}'  years  at  Ashtabula, 
where  he  yet  remains  and  occasionally  attends  the  meeting.s  of 
the  Club.  Rev.  J.  Lovejoy  Robertson  ministered  to  the  Kuclid 
Avenue  Church,  and  Dr.  Gaston  had  just  entered  upon  his 
pastorate  of  the  North  Church.  Dr.  Pomeroy  was  in  the  Second 
Church,  and  was  one  of  the  most  active  at  the  beginning  in 
j)ushing  the  organization.  The  Woodland  Avenue  Church  had 
just  called  Dr.  Spining,  while  Francis  A.  Horton  was  the  zealous 
pastor  of  the  young  Case  Avenue  Church.  From  Hudson  came 
Rev.  T.  Y.  Gardner,  who  has  recently  rejoined  the  Club  as  pastor 
of  the  Glenville  Church.  President  Carroll  Cutler,  of  Western 
Reserve  University,  was  generally  present  with  us,  and  enter- 
tained us  at  his  home.  The  church  in  East  Cleveland,  then 
called  Collamer,  was  ministered  unto  by  the  Rev.  Robert  D. 
Scott,  while  our  good  friend  Rollo  Ogdeu  was  conducting  affairs 
at  Calvary  Chapel.  A  licentiate  of  the  Presbytery,  W.  W.  Gist, 
sometimes  came  from  his  charge  at  Wickliffe.  Revs.  Peter 
Kimball,  Milton  A.  Sackett,  Henry  B.  Eldred,  Dr.  J.  G.  Hall, 
J.  B.  Allen,  and  J.  A.  Seymour,  were  also  early  members,  and 
two  of  these  brethren  are  yet  with  us.  Rev.  John  H.  Jones,  of 
the  First  Church  of  Akron,  occasionally  came  to  the  meetings. 
These,  besides  the  writer,  composed  the  Club  in  those  days. 

At  the  meetings  of  the  Club,  it  is  the  custom  to  have  a 
paper  read  by  one  of  the  members,  appointed  a  month  in  advance. 
This  follows  the  regular  routine  business  and  devotional  exer- 
cises, and  is  itself  followed  by  a  more  or  less  spirited  discussion, 
it  being  often  difficult  to  limit  the  same  to  the  five  minutes 
allotted  to  each  member.  As  the  discussion  moves  slowly  around 
the  room,  it  seems  only  to  gather  in  animation  and  interest  ;  but 
the  dining  hour  is  the  end  of  the  intellectual  contest,  and  the 
brethren  then  gather  about  the  tables.  After  dinner  the  members 
disperse,  only  anxious  for  Luna  to  roll  the  month  around.  The 
meetings  from  the  beginning  have  been  held  on  the  first  Monday 
of  the  month. 

The  entertainment  has  always  been  provided  ])y  each  of  the 
brethren  in  turn,  the  host  of  the  day  sending  out  the  invitations 
and   prograni  a    few  days    preceeding    each    gathering.      In    the

early  da3'S  of  the  Club,  the  social  features  of  the  gathering  were 
more  prominent  than  of  later  years.  The  brother  entertaining 
formerly  invited  the  Club  to  his  home.  Thus  we  were  accus- 
tomed to  meet,  with  some  degree  of  regularity,  one  another's 
wives;  but  the  meetings  increasing  in  size  and  proving  more  and 
more  a  burden  to  the  good  housewife,  the  entertainers  have 
gradually  settled  into  the  custom  of  receiving  the  Club  at  the 
Forest  City  House.

In  the  early  eighties,  Dr.  Pomeroy  was  an  adept  amateur 
photographer.  At  a  meeting  of  the  Club,  held  at  the  home  of 
Rev.  F.  A.  Horton  on  Sibley  street,  Dr.  Pomeroy  took  the  above 
picture  of  the  Club,  the  members  being  grouped  on  the  lawn  at  the 
northeast  corner  of  the  pastor's  residence.  Counting  the  Doctor 
himself,  we  made  thirteen.  Five  of  the  group  have  already 
passed   over   the  river,  and   there   they  form  a   saintly  company.

In  the  picture  six  of  the  company  stand  in  the  rear.  They  are, 
from  left  to  right:  Smyth,  Robertson,  Horton,  vSeynionr, 
Ogden,  and  Gaston.  Seated  in  chairs  in  front  of  these  are 
Jones,  Mitchell,  Hall,  Kldred,  and  Curtis.  The  present  Secre- 
tary has  a  lower   seat  in   front  of  Dr.  Hall. 

The  minutes  of  the  first  meeting  in  the  second  vcjluine  may 
be  interesting.  They  are  in  the  handwriting  of  our  jolliest 
member,  Dr.  Smyth.     They  are  as  follows  :

present,  was  proposed  for  membership,  and  the  matter  was  post- 
poned to  the  next  meeting.  The  subject  of  Interdenomina-

Bj'  Mrs.   E.   H.   Hioitington. 

THIS  Societ}'  wa.s  organized  September  lo,  1873,  although  in 
reaUty  it  is  the  outgrowth  of  a  society  organized  a  year 
earlier,  and  called  "The  Woman's  Foreign  Missionar}'  Society  of 
the  Presbyterian  Churches  of  Cleveland."  This  latter  organiza- 
tion was  effected  June  12,  1S72,  in  the  parlors  of  the  Second 
Church  on  Superior  Street.  The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by 
Dr.  Goodrich,  pastor  of  the  First  Church,  who  explained  its 
object,  and  gave  a  brief  history  of  Woman's  Foreign  Missionary 
Society  which  had  been  in  existence  for  forty  years  in  Cleveland. 
This  society  was  organized  in  the  Old  Stone  Church  in  1833,  and 
deserves  passing  mention.  It  met  finst  at  the  homes  of  its  mem- 
bers, and  from   its  ranks  there  went  forth   missionaries  in   the

earl}'  years  of  its  existence.  Rev.  Samuel  Hatchings,  who  sup- 
plied the  First  Church  one  j-ear,  and  his  young  wife  went  to 
Ceylon.  Miss  Sarah  Van  Tine  married  Dr.  Adams,  and  went  to 
Natal,  Africa.  Miss  Kate  Jennings  married  Rev.  Mr.  Parsons, 
and  went  to  Armenia. 

As  other  churches  were  formed  the  meetings  were  continued, 
letters  were  read  from  the  Foreign  Field,  and  busy  fingers 
prepared  boxes  of  clothing  for  the  missionaries  "  The  memory 
of  this  Society  is  numbered  among  the  most  cherished  recollec- 
tions of  Cleveland's  early  history."  Of  those  venerable  women, 
the  founders  of  this  "Parlor  Missionary  Society,"  but  few 
remain,  but  their  names  are  cherished  by  those  who  have  taken 
up  their  pioneer  work.  Among  them  were  Mrs.  Gaylord,  Mrs. 
Lathrop,  Mrs.  Starkweather,  Mrs.  Weddell,  Mrs.  Kelsey,  Mrs. 
Shepard,  Mrs.  Foot,  Mrs.  Benedict,  and  many  others  ;  while  of 
the  living,  Mrs.  Severance,  Mrs.  Converse  and  many  others,  bear 
witness  to  the  zeal  and  inspiration  which  that  time-honored 
Foreign  Missionary  Societ}'  awakened  in  the  women  of  Cleve- 
land   forty  years  ago. 

With  some  regret  its  members  saw  the  dissolution  of  their 
old  Society,  but  gave  their  cordial  support  to  the  new  one,  which 
the  needs  of  the  work,  and  the  growing  city  required.  Mrs. 
Mary  H.  Severance  was  elected  President  of  the  new  Society  ; 
Mrs.  George  H.  Ely  and  Mrs.  E.  H.  Huntington,  Vice-Presi- 
dents ;  Miss  Anne  Walworth,  Treasurer,  and  Mrs.  H.  G.  Ham- 
mond, Secretary.  Upon  the  Executive  Committee  were  Mrs.  H. 
C.  Haydn,  Mrs.  Samuel  Williamson,  Mrs.  H.  R.  Hoisington, 
Miss  Mary  E.  Ingersoll  and  Miss  Julia  Haskell. 

At  the  first  annual  meeting  of  this  Society,  the  First,  Second, 
Euclid  Avenue,  Woodland  i\venue  and  North  Presbyterian 
Churches  are  reported  among  the  contributors,  while  "The 
Little  Rill  Band  "  of  the  First  Church,  and  the  "  Ladies'  Parlor 
Missionary  Society"  are  credited  with  contributions.  The 
receipts  for  the  first  year  were  $1,033.  Of  this  amount  $500 
was  sent  to  aid  in  the  purchase  of  a  building  in  Woodstock, 
India,  to  be  used  for  a  school  for  the  children  of  missionaries, 
and  as  a  health  resort  for  their  parents  ;  $45  was  .sent  to  support 
a  pupil  in  Sidon,  Syria,  and  $300  was  given  to  the  general  fund

of  the  Woman's  Foreign   Missionar}-  Societ}-  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church. 

At  this  first  annual  meeting  the  Rev.  J.  A.  Skinner,  pastor 
of  the  Case  Avenue  Church,  proposed  a  change  of  "name  and 
scope"  of  the  Societj-,  which  should  make  it  strictly  a  Presby- 
terial  organization,  and  more  in  harmony  with  the  existing 
methods  of  the  Board  of  P'oreign  Missions.  It  was  decided  to 
effect  this  change  ;  a  constitution  was  adopted  and  a  committee 
was  appointed  to  nominate  oflBcers  under  its  provisions.  Mrs. 
Mary  H.  Severance,  who  had  so  acceptably  filled  the  office  of 
President  of  the  existing  Society,  declined  to  continue  in  office, 
much  to  the  regret  of  its  members.  The  officers  were  as  follows: 
President,  Mrs.  E.  H.  Huntington  ;  Vice-Presidents,  Mrs.  J.  N. 
McGift'ert  and  Mrs.  Eleroy  Curtis ;  Corresponding  Secretary, 
Mrs.  H.  G.  Hammond  ;  Recording  Secretary,  Miss  Mary  Otis  ; 
Treasurer,  Mrs.  A.  H.  Potter. 

The  Society's  first  work  was  the  support  of  Miss  Mary 
P.  Dascomb,  in  Paulo,  Brazil,  and  an  appropriation  of  $500  for 
missionary  work  in  Mexico  City.  It  was  also  voted  to  assume 
the  support  of  a  missionary  to  Ningpo,  China,  whenever  one 
should  offer.  During  the  first  year  Mrs.  Hammond  resigned  her 
office  as  Corresponding  Secretar)',  and  Miss  Julia  Ha.skell  was 
elected  to  the  office,  which  position  she  has  filled  to  the  present 
time.  Miss  Otis  was  succeeded  by  Mrs.  H.  S.  Adams,  as  Record- 
ing Secretary,  which  office  she  tilled  until  1883,  when  her  re- 
moval from  the  city  compelled  her  to  resign. 

During  the  earlier  years  of  the  Society,  quarterly  meetings 
were  held  in  connection  with  the  meetings  of  Presbytery.  The 
first  occurred  December  10,  1873,  in  Elyria.  The  Elyria  Con- 
gregational Church  was  then  connected  with  the  Cleveland 
Presbytery,  and  much  strength  was  given  to  the  mission  work  by 
such  experienced  workers  as  Mrs.  E.  DeWitt  and  Mrs.  Heman  Ely. 
In  order  to  bring  the  fiscal  year  of  the  Society  into  harmony  with 
that  of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  it  was  decided  to  hold  the 
first  annual  meeting  in  April,  1874,  at  the  Westminster  Church. 
Twenty-one  societies  reported  at  that  meeting.  The  minutes 
record  that  Miss  Closson  of  Turkey  addressed  the  meeting;  that 
Mrs.  S.  L.  Severance  gave  a  paper  on  Brazil,  and  Miss  Metcalf  of 
Hudson,    Mrs.    McGiffert  of  Ashtabula,    Mrs.   DeWitt  of  Elyria, 


34  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

and  Mrs.  Cutler  of  Hudson,  followed  with  addresses.  In  the 
evening,  at  the  popular  meeting  held  in  connection  with  the 
Presbytery,  Mrs.  Dr.  Haydn  gave  a  paper  on  Mexico,  followed 
by  one  from  Mrs.  McGiffert  on  China. 

In  May  of  that  year,  Miss  Sellers  was  accepted  as  the  mis- 
sionary of  the  Cleveland  Presbyterial  Society,  and  her  outfit  pre- 
pared by  the  different  auxiliaries.  In  the  autumn  she  went  to 
Ningpo,  China,  but  only  for  a  short  time  was  she  permitted  to 
work.  Her  health  failed,  and  in  1876  she  returned  to  America. 
Miss  Dascomb,  too,  was  compelled  to  return  home  to  care  for  her 
parents,  who  were  in  infirm  health.  Miss  Belle  Marsh  offered 
herself  about  this  time,  and  the  Society  gladly  adopted  her  as  its 
missionary  in  Yokohama,  Japan.  Three  years  later  Miss  Marsh 
became  the  wife  of  a  Baptist  missionary  and  withdrew  from  the 
Presbyterian  Board  in  1878.  Miss  Fullerton  went  to  Wood- 
stock, India,  as  teacher  of  missionary  children  and  those  of 
Eurasian  parentage.  The  Cleveland  Presbyterial  Society  assumed 
her  support,  which  was  continued  until  her  return  home  in  1888 
to  care  for  her  aged  mother.  Miss  Bessie  Nelson,  daughter  of  Dr. 
Nelson,  editor  of  "Our  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,"  was 
adopted  by  the  Society  in  1S80,  and  soon  after  going  to  Syria 
she  became  the  wife  of  Rev.  W.  K.  Eddy  of  Sidon,  where  she  is 
still  teaching  the  gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  through  the  influence  of 
her  home  life,  as  wife  and  mother. 

During  this  year  four  scholarships  were  assumed  in  Brazil, 
at  $100  each,  and  Miss  Annie  Johnson  of  Cleveland  was  accepted 
by  the  Society  as  its  missionary.  She  became  the  wife  of  Rev. 
J.  H.  Eaughlin,  and  went  to  China,  but  her  brief,  beautiful  life 
soon  closed,  and  in  October,  1884,  she  was  called  to  her  heavenh' 
reward,  leaving  the  Society  with  only  Mrs.  Eddy  as  its  mission- 
ary for  several  years,  while  it  continued  to  pay  to  the  general  fund 
of  the  Board  the  larger  part  of  its  receipts.  School  work  in  Canton, 
under  Miss  Hattie  Noyes,  has  always  been  sustained,  besides  the 
support  of  Bible-readers,  schools,  teachers  and  scholarships,  in 
almost  every  country  where  Pre.sbyterian  missions  have  been 
established. 

The  year  1880  will  always  be  remembered  for  the  grand 
thank-offering,  with  which  the  Cleveland  Presbyterial  Society 
went  in   its  own   chartered  car  to  Cincinnati    to    the   decennial

^3.595- 

For  thiiteen  years  meetings  of  the  Society  were  held 
quarterly.  In  1885  it  was  decided  to  hold  annual  and  semi- 
annual meetings  only  :  the  annual  meeting  to  be  held  in 
Cleveland  in  April  of  each  year  ;  the  semi-annual  meeting  in 
October  in  different  parts  of  the  Presbytery,  upon  invitation  of 
the  various  auxiliaries.  During  the  autumn  of  1893,  Mrs.  Mary 
Schauffler  Labaree  went  from  Cleveland,  where  her  father,  Dr. 
SchauiHer,  resides,  to  Oroomiah,  Persia,  and  to  the  great  joy  of 
the  Cleveland  Presbyterial  Society,  Mrs.  Dabaree  became  its 
missionary.  Her  bright,  interesting  letters  awaken  much  interest 
in  her  personally,  and  make  her  support  a  privilege  to  be 
coveted.  Of  the  Mission  Bands  under  the  care  of  this  Society, 
perhaps  the  oldest  is  the  "Band  of  Youthful  Helpers"  in  the 
North  Church,  organized  by  the  venerable  Mrs.  Hoisington,  even 
before  this  Presbyterial  Society  existed.  The  present  number  of 
Mission  Bands  is  fourteen,  but  seventeen  Christian  Endeavor 
Societies  give  their  missionary  offerings  through  this  Society. 
These  societies,  with  a  membership  of  over  900,  have  largely 
taken  the  place  of  the  former  Young  Peoples'  Societies  and  the 
Mission  Bands.  There  are  now  twenty-eight  auxiliary  societies 
connected  with  this  Presbyterial  Society,  and  in  the  time  of  its 
existence  this  organization  contributed  more  than  $70,000  to  the 
work  of  Foreign  Missions. 

Among  the  honored  women  who  have  shared  the  official 
responsibility  of  the  Society  in  former  years,  are  the  names  of 
Mrs.  Eleroy  Curtis,  Mrs.  E.  DeWitt,  Mrs.  Arthur  Mitchell,  Mrs. 
C.  T.  Chester,  Miss  Mary  Otis,  Miss  Alice  Crosby,  Mrs.  E-  H. 
Adams,  Miss  Mary  Evans,  Miss  Anna  Wolcott,  Mrs.  John  Ewart, 
Mrs.  J.  C.  Elliott,  Mrs.  A.  H.  Potter,  Mrs.  A.  C.  Miller  and 
Mrs.  D.  O.  Mears.  Some  have  fallen  asleep  and  rest  from  their 
labors,  while  others  are  still  active  in  mission  work  in  other 
places.  Mrs.  A.  H.  Potter,  the  Society's  first  and  only  Treasurer, 
was  suddenly  called  to  her  reward  on  the  morning  of  January  i, 
1894,  after  twenty-one  years  of  faithful  service.  Mrs.  C.  W. 
Monroe  was  appointed  to  the  office  the  following  April.  Mrs.  A. 
C.  Miller,  who  succeeded  Mrs.  Adams  as  Recording  Secretary  in

1883,  continued  in  that  office  until  188S,  when  her  removal  from 
the  city  caused  her  to  resign.  Mrs.  Edward  L.  Day  was  made 
her  successor,  and  continues  to  fill  the  position.  In  October, 
1885,  Mrs  E..  H.  Huntington,  who  had  served  as  President 
twenty-two  years,  resigned,  and  Mrs.  J.  D.  Chambers  was 
elected  to  that  office.     The  present  officers  are  as  follows  : 

President,  Mrs.  J.  D.  Chambers;  Vice  Presidents,  Mrs.  E. 
H.  Huntington,  Mrs  J.  N.  McGiffert,  Mrs.  E.  C  Higbee,  Mrs.

By  Mrs.  A.  N.  Elliott,  Corresponding  Secretary. 

IN  response  to  an  invitation  from  Rev.  J.  N.  McGiffert,  D.D., 
chairman  of  the  Presb3'terial  Committee  on  Home  Missions,  a 
number  of  ladies,  representing  several  churches,  met  in  the 
parlors  of  the  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  on  April  lo, 
1 88 1,  and  organized  a  Woman's  Presbyterial  Home  Missionary 
Society.  The  officers  elected  were  :  President,  Mrs.  Carroll 
Cutler;  Vice-President,  Mrs.  Mary  Williamson,  and  Mrs.  D.  L. 
Hickok  ;  Recording  Secretary,  Miss  Agnes  McGiffert,  and  after- 
wards Miss  L  Spencer  consented  to  act  as  Treasurer. 

The  first  annual  meeting  of  this  society  was  held  in  the 
Case  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church.  Nine  of  the  twenty-eight 
churches  in  the  Presbyter}^  were  represented,  only  two  of  these,

was  one  hundred  and  eighty-five,  and  the  amount  of  money 
rai-sed  during  the  year  was  $1,307.  Great  help  and  inspiration 
were  gained  during  the  first  year  from  an  address  by  Mrs.  Haines, 
Secretary  of  the  Executive  Committee,  and  an  animated  report, 
by  Mrs  Elliott  of  Seville,  of  the  Woman's  meeting  held  in  con- 
nection with  the  General  Assembly  meeting  at  Springfield. 

It  has  been  said  by  those  qualified  to  know,  that  the  forma- 
tion of  this  Presbyterial  Society,  and  its  success  are  due  to  its

year,  Mrs.  Dr.  Spining.  At  the  second  annual  meeting  of  the 
Society,  held  in  the  Miles  Park  Church,  there  was  greatly  in- 
creased interest  and  attendance.  Eighteen  churches  reported, 
and  a  full  complement  of  ofhcers  was  secured.  A  decided  impulse 
was  given  the  Society  during  this  year,  by  eloquent  appeals  from 
such  men  as  Dr.  Roberts,  Dr.  McMillan  and  Rev.  Sheldon  Jack- 
son, and  the  object  of  Home  Missions  took  mure  distinct  shape, 
in  the  prayers  and  interest  of  the  women  of  the  Cleveland  Pres- 
bytery. The  work  has  steadil}^  grown,  and  as  one  officer  after 
another  was  called  to  lay  her  armor  by,  another  was  found  to 
gird  it  on,  for  thus  doeth  the  Lord  his  work. 

During  these  5-ears  we  have  had  serve  us,  as  Presidents,  such 
honored  women  as  Mrs.  Carroll  Cutler,  Miss  L-  T.  Guilford,

The  increase  in  membership  and  in  offerings  has  been  most 
marked.  In  the  year  ending^  April,  1895,  1474  members  were 
reported,  and  money  raised,  $4,433.  This  Society  has  snpported 
many  scholarships,  paid  the  salaries  of  numerous  teachers,  and 
assisted  in  the  building  and  furnishing  of  most  of  the  prominent 
school  buildings  lately  built  on  what  we  term  our  Home  Mission 
field. 

This  is  but  a  brief  record  of  the  Home  Mission  work  and 
workers  of  the  Cleveland  Presbytery.  There  is  a  record  of  their 
noblest  deeds,  and  purest  motives  which  we  are  sure  will  add 
many  bright  gems  to  their  crowns  when  they  gather  in  the  home 
above,  as   "children    of  the    King." 

"And  when  the  chief  Shepherd  shall  appear,  ye  shall  receive 
a  crown  of  glory  that  fadeth  not  away."

Rev.    E.    E.    Davis. 


H  E  North  Springfield 
Presbyterian  Church  was 
organized  in  1 809,  and  is  one  of 
the  oldest  churches  upon  the 
Reserve.  Three  houses  of  wor- 
ship have  served  the  church  ; 
the  first  two  were  log  struc- 
tures, the  third  and  present 
church  is  a  frame  building, 
and  was  erected  in  1828.  Rev. 
Joshua  Beer,  who  moderated 
the  meeting  when  the  organ- 
ization was  effected,  served 
the  church  until  181 6.  From 
that  time  until  1829  there 
were  stated  supplies,  but  at 
the  latter  date,  1829,  an  exceptionally  long  pastorate  began. 
The  Rev.  John  Hughes,  a  recent  graduate  of  Princeton  Seminary, 
came  as  a  home  missionary  to  this  field  in  August,  1829.  He 
was  ordained  and  installed  pastor  of  the  church  June  16,  1830, 
and  served  until  April  25,  1866,  when  he  resigned  at  his  own  re- 
quest. Mr.  Hughes  was  of  ministerial  stock.  His  father  was 
the  first  ordained  and  settled  minister 
north  of  the  Ohio  river,  and  two  of  his 
uncles  were  clergymen.  Three  of  his 
brothers  were  ministers,  and  his  sister 
married  a  minister.  Mr.  Hughes  had  a 
son  who  died  at  the  close  of  his  Semi- 
nary course,  and  three  of  his  nephews 
are  ministers.  He  was  known  in  the 
region  where  he  spent  all  the  years  of  his 
ministerial  service  as  "Father  Hughes." 
After  his  resignation  he  moved  to  Tall- 
madge,  and  then  to  Newburgh,  where  he 
died  March  3,  1870.     Since  the  resigna-  Rev.  John  Hughes.

tiou  of  Father  Hughes  thirteen  ministers  have  labored  in  this 
field.  The  longest  pastorates  were  those  of  Rev.  J.  E.  Vance, 
1876  to  1880,  and  Rev.  H.  M.  Walker,  1881  to  1888.  The  pres- 
ent pastor,  Rev.  E.  E.  Davis,  is  doing  good  work  in  this  old 
church.  Since  the  beginning  of  his  labors,  January  7,  1895, 
there  have  been  large  additions,  and  the  outlook  is  very  hopeful. 

Rome  Church. 

Several  years  prior  to  1808 
the  early  Christians  at  Rome, 
without  a  pastor,  conducted  re- 
ligious services.  These  services 
were  held  until  the  war  of  1812. 
In  1816  there  was  a  revival,  but 
the  converts  united  with  the  Con- 
gregational Church  at  Austin- 
burgh.  May  20,  1819,  the  First 
Congregational  Chuich,  at  Rome, 
was  organized  by  Rev.  Giles  H. 
Cowles,  with  twelve  members. 
The  church  joined  the  Grand 
River  Presbytery.  Before  1826 
there  are  no  records,  but  the 
only  pastor  known  as  preaching 
between  the  date  of  organization  and  that  date  was  Rev.  Mr. 
Eeslie.  The  pastorates  of  this  church  have  been  comparatively 
short,  and  the  names  of  those  who  have  served  the  church  are: 
Revs.  Mr.  Ivcslie,  Randolph  Stone,  Giles  Cowles,  R.  W.  Childs, 
Charles  Danforth,  H.  Blodgett,  Mr.  Spier,  Urban  Palmer,  F.  H. 
Deming,  Alanson  Sanders,  Franklin  Arnold,  William  Millikin, 
Franklin  McGinuis,  Henry  Farwell,  William  Kain,  D.  M. 
Hazlett,  A.  B.  Maxwell,  and  Artemas  Williams.  The  present 
pastor,  Rev.  Horace  Palmer,  began  his  work  October  i,  1893, 
and  twenty-one  members  have  been  added  to  the  church  during 
his  two  years  of  service. 

Ashtabula  Church. 

The  First  Presbyterian  Church,  of  Ashtabula,  was  organized 
December  6,  1821,  by  the  Rev.  Joseph  Badger,  of   the    Connecti-

cut  Missionary  Society,  with  a  membership  of  seven.  Rev.  Perry 
Pratt  was  the  minister  at  the  time,  and  continued  in  service  until 
1826.  From  that  time  until  1847  ^^^  church]  was  served  by  a 
succession  of  stated  supplies  for  periods  of  from  one  to  four  years. 
In  1847  Rev.  Augustus  Ponieroy  was  installed  as  the  first  pastor, 
and  remained  until    1852.     Rev. 

J.    M.    Gillett   was   pastor   from  ,^ 

1853  to  1865.  The  present  pas- 
tor. Rev.  Joseph  N.  McGiffert, 
D.D.,  was  installed  in  1866,  and 
is  in  his  thirtieth  year  of  service. 
The  early  organization  of  the 
church  was  Congregational,  un- 
der the  care  of  the  Presbytery  of 
Grand  River.  In  1850  the 
Presbyterian  order  and  discipline 
were  adopted,  and  elders  selected 
and  ordained  The  first  church

ions  edifice  was  dedicated.  Tlie  number  of  members  at  present  is 
409.  The  Sunday  School  numbers  about  350,  and  the  Y.  P.  S. 
C.  E.  100.  The  organization  of  the  church  consists  of  nine  rul- 
ing elders,  one  of  these,  J.  P.  Robertson,  Esq.,  having  held  the 
office  since  the  adoption  of  the  Presbyterian  order,  forty-five  years 
ago,  and  of  two  deacons  and  six  lady  assistants.  The  Ashta- 
bula church  is  the  largest  of  our  "country  churches," 
and  Dr.  McGififert  is  the  honored  Nestor  of  the  Cleveland 
Presbytery. 

Guilford  Church. 


'ffijyg.^'A^ 


The  church  of  Guilford,  at 
Seville,  was  organized  June  25, 
1 83 1,  with  thirteen  members. 
In  1838  seven  members  with- 
drew, and  with  some  others 
formed  a  Congregational  church. 
In  1853  the  Presbyterian  Church 
of  LaFa3'ette  was  organized  with 
members  exclusivel}'  from  the 
Guilford  Church.  Rev.  Varnum 
Noyes  was  the  first  pastor  of  the 
latter  church.  Commencing  his 
labors  September,  1S31,  he  was 
installed  September,  1836,  and 
continued  pastor  until  May, 
1849.      An  effort  was  then  made 

to  unite  the  Presbyterian  and  Congregational  churches.  Rev. 
Charles  C.  Dan  forth  supplied  the  pulpit,  but  the  effort  was  not 
successful,  and  the  former  pastor,  Mr.  Noyes,  was  recalled  to  the 
Presbyterian  church  in  1852,  and  continued  his  labors  until  187 1. 
Thus  Mr.  Noyes  preached  thirty-seven  years  in  this  church,  the 
same  term  of  service  as  that  of  Mr.  Hughes  in  the  North  Spring- 
field church.  Mr.  Noyes  died  April  20,  1888.  The  Guilford 
Church  was  supplied  by  Rev.  J.  C.  Elliott  from  1871  to  1885. 
Rev.  Wm.  L.  Notestein  was  installed  pastor  October  21,  1886, 
which  relationship  was  dissolved  April  13,  1892.  The  church 
was  then  supplied  until  the  present  pastor.  Rev.  Virgil  G. 
Sheeley,  was  installed  Nov.    27,  1894.

The  following  persons  have  gone 
from  this  church  as  ministers  and  as  mis- 
sionaries: Ministers — David  Smith,  Ros-

Noyes,  Miss  Harriet  Noyes  and  Mrs. 
Martha  Noyes  Kerr,  to  Canton,  China; 
Mrs.  Mary  Sloaks  Dunlap  to  Bankok, 
Siam.  The  church  has  built  two  houses 
of  worship,  the  first  in  1838,  and  the 
second  in  1857.  The  membership  has 
generally  been  small,  as  a  large  propor- 
tion of  the  young  people  seek  business 
in  other  places,  where  many  of  them  are 
fining  places  of  usefulness  in  the  churches.  The  membership  for 
the  last  ten  years  has  varied  from    ninety-seven  to   147. 

Orwell  Church. 

The  Orwell  Presbyterian  Church  was  an  outgrowth  of  a 
Congregational  church  changing  to  the  former  polity  November 
19,  1 83 1.  The  church  at  that  time  had  eleven  members.  In 
1833  this  church  adopted  the  following  resolution,  viz:  "That 
we  will  receive  no  one  into  this  church  unless  he  agrees  to 
abstain  from  drinking,  manufacturing  and  vending  ardent  spirits, 
excepting  for  medicine."  The 
first  pastor  was  Rev.  Charles 
Dan  forth,  who  began  his  work 
in  1835.  The  first  building  was 
commenced  in  1840,  and  finished 
in  1 84 1.  From  that  time  until 
1874  i^i^^G  ministers  served  the 
congregation:  Revs.  Mr.  Palmer, 
B.  Y.  Messenger,  C.  J.  Pitkins, 
Lewis  Gadden,  Amos  Dressor, 
Franklin  Arnold,  Wm.  Millikin, 
Franklin  Maginnis  and  E. 
Latimer.  In  1876  there  was 
a     revival    in    the    churches    of 

Orwell      that    added      largely     to  Rev.  John    E.  Carroll.

them,  and  in  the  following  year,  1877,  the  Presbyterian  Church 
was  rebuilt  and  re-dedicated.  Seven  ministers  have  served  the 
church  since  that  time  until  the  present  i)astor,  Rev.  J.  E.  Carroll, 
was  chosen  in  1894:  Revs.  H.King,  Wni.  T.  Richardson,  J.  E. 
Vance,  Alexander  Ross,  Sherman  D.  Taylor,  M.  Knowles,  and  H. 
p.  Hamilton.  The  present  menil)ership  of  the  church  is  seventy- 
five.  With  a  Sunday  School  of  150  pupils,  and  a  Christian  En- 
deavor Society  of  50  members,  this  church  has  a  prosperous  outlook. 

First  Church,  of  Akron. 

The  First  Presbyterian 
Church,  of  Akron,  was  organ- 
ized December  15,  1831,  with 
twenty-six  charter  members. 
The  village  was  then  called  Mid- 
dlebury.  Rev.  Benson  C.  Bald- 
win was  the  first  pastor,  and 
Woolsey  Wells  and  Richard 
Chapman  were  the  first  elders. 
Mr.  Baldwin  served  the  church 
seven  years.  Rev.  Mr.  Alanson 
and  Rev.  H.  A.  Sackett  sup- 
plied the  church  for  a  time,  and 
in  1 84 1  Rev.  James  Shaw  was 
installed  as  pastor.  Remarkable 
revivals  marked  his  ministr5^ 
Rev.  William  Hanford  and  Rev. 
Horace  Foote  supplied  after  Mr.  Shaw  left,  and  in  March,  1848, 
Rev.  Eleroy  Curtis  became  pastor.  Prior  to  this  time  an  effort 
had  been  made  to  sever  connection  with  the  Portage  Presbytery, 
and  this  failing,  a  number  of  members  seceded  and  formed  a 
Congregational  church.  This  weakened  the  mother  church. 
In  1854  Mr.  Curtis  closed  his  labors.  During  the  next  four  years 
the  church  had  supplies.  In  1859  the  Presbyterian  and  Congre- 
gational churches  were  united  under  a  plan  of  union,  and  Rev. 
Wm.  Dempsey  served  the  union  church  four  years.  Rev.  George 
C  Hicks  then  supplied  two  years,  and  Rev.  John  G.  Hall  for 
three  years,  when  Rev.  Mr.  Avery  took  charge  from  1871  to  1874, 
when  the  church  returned  to  the  Presbytery.  Messrs.  A.  L. 
Cotter,  Henry  Hart,  and  John  K.  Robinson  were  elected    elders, 


Rev.  Edward  Layport. 


48  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

and  Rev.  C.  E.  Barnes  became  pastor  in  1874,  serving  three 
years.  Mr.  Barnes  was  succeeded  by  Rev.  J.  H.  Jones,  who 
served  about  three  years.  Then  followed  the  five-year  pastorate 
of  Rev.  Dwight  L,.  Chapin,  during  which  time  the  present  house 
of  worship  was  built.  Rev.  E.  Layport,  the  present  pastor, 
began  his  labors  in  May,  1889,  and  in  1890  the  parsonage  was 
built.  The  present  membership  of  the  church  is  150.  The 
Sunday  School  numbers  185  pupils,  and  there  are  Junior  and 
Senior  Christian  Endeavor  Societies. 

Streetsboro  Church, 

This  church  was  organized  January  14,  1833,  by  Rev. 
Beriah  Green.  It  was  a  Congregational  church,  under  the  care 
of  the  Portage  Presbyter}-.  Thirty  united  with  the  church  at  its 
formation,  presenting  letters  from  Congregational  churches 
in  the  East,  and  from  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  North  Spring- 
field, Summit  County.  The  two  elements  did  not  always  work 
in  harmony,  nevertheless  the  work  prospered.  Worship  was 
conducted  in  a  school  house  until  the  church  building  was  dedi- 
cated, June  29,  1837.  In  1870  the  building  was  rebuilt  and 
re-dedicated.  Feb.  15,  1874,  Rev.  H.  H.  Wells,  D.D  ,  com- 
menced special  meetings,  which  added  a  large  number  to  the 
church,  and  February  28,  1874,  a  meeting  was  called  to  adopt 
the  Presbyterian  form  of  government.  The  church  has  had  but 
one  installed  pastor.  Rev.  Samuel  Lee,  1840  to  1849.  Many 
ministers  have  supplied  the  pulpit,  but  through  all  the  successes 
and  failures  the  church  has  never  been  closed,  except  for  repairs 
or  for  union  services. 

Willougfhby  Church. 

This  church  was  organized  April  15,  1833,  as  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Chagrin,  afterwards  Willoughby,  with 
nine  members.  In  the  sixty-three  years  of  its  existence  it  has 
had  twenty-one  ministers,  only  three  of  whom  were  installed. 
At  the  beginning  the  church  was  received  into  the  Cleveland 
Presbytery,  but  in  1837  it  was  made  a  Congregational  church. 
Under  the  pastorate  of  Rev.  H.  S.  Clark  (1840  to  1846)  the 
church  was  again  made  Pre-sbyterian,  with  the  exception  that 
the  elders  were  elected  for  three  years  instead  of  for  life.  In 
July,    1848,    the   church    again  changed  to  the  "  First  Congrega-

tioiial  Church  of  Willoughby,"  although  it  remained  in  connec- 
tion with  the  Presbyter}'.  In  1870  the  church  adopted  the 
Presbyterian  form  of  government,  and  has  since  remained  in  the 
Cleveland  Presbytery.  On  August  5,  1880,  Rev.  Arthur  J. 
Waugh  came  and  served  the  church  ten  years.  During  this 
period  of  service  the  old  edifice  was  supplanted  by  a  new  church 
building  costing  $10,000.  Mr.  Waugh  resigned  to  accept  a  call 
to  the  Willson  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  of  Cleveland,  and 
after  a  three-years  supply  of  the  church  by  Rev.  F.  G.  Weeks, 
the  present  minister,  Rev.  Selden  C.  Dickinson,  a  Congre- 
gationalist,  began  his  labors.  The  whole  number  received  into 
membership  during  the  existence  of  this  church  is  549,  the  pres- 
ent membership  being  over  100.  Two  missionaries  have  gone  forth 
from  this  church,  Miss  I^aura  Emily  Carpenter  going  to  China, 
and  Miss  Eliza  D.  Everett  to  Syria,  where  she  now  labors.  Miss 
Carpenter  returned  to  this  country,  and  died  about  186 1.  The 
Missionary  Societies  are  flourishing.  The  church  has  a  good 
parsonage,  and  the  whole  property,  worth  over  $15,000,  is  free 
from  debt.

people  met  in  a  log  school-house 
to  form  a  church.  Rev.  Caleb 
Pitkin  moderated  the  meeting, 
delegated  so  to  act  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Portage,  but  it 
was  left  to  the  people  whether 
they  would  form  a  Presbyterian 
or  a  Congregational  church.  It 
was  not  until  1837,  however, 
that  the  congregation  resolved 
that  the  form  of  church  govern- 
ment should  be  strictly  Presby- 
terian. In  October  of  that  year 
the  church  petitioned  the  (O.  S.) 
Presbytery  of  Wooster  for  mem- 
which    petition  was   granted.     The

pastors  and  supplies  of  this  church  have  been:  Revs.  C  J. 
Abbott,  M.  A.  Fox,  Mr.  Crittenden,  John  Andrews,  William 
Campbell,  Luke  Borland,  W.  B.  Marsh,  William  Hamilton,  D.D., 
M.  E.  Caldwell,  afterwards  a  missionary  to  Bogota;  J.  G.  Hall, 
D.D.,  R.  R.  Marquis,  W.  M.  Donaldson,  and  W.  W.  Tait.  The 
present  pastor.  Rev.  Joel  C.  Glover,  was  called  August  i6,  1891. 
This  small  church  has  given  five  young  men  to  the  ministry, 
Northfield  is  noted  for  the  moral  and  Christian  character  of  its 
citizens,  which  is  in  a  large  measure  the  result  of  the  influence  of 
the  Presbyterian  church. 


Solon  Church. 

The  Solon  Presbyterian 
Church  was  organized  April  24, 
1834  It  was  first  organized  on 
the  independent  plan,  but  in 
1840,  "feeling  the  need  of  the 
sympathy  and  help  from  with- 
out, more  than  it  could  secure 
under  a  purely  Congregational 
polity,"  the  church  joined  the 
Cleveland  Presbytery,  under  the 
old  plan  of  union.  This  relation 
""  was  sustained  until    1871    when, 

on  August  27,  the  church  was 
fully  organized  on  the  Presby- 
terian plan.  A  year  after 
organization  a  house  of  worship 
was  erected,  a  very  plain,  modest 
building.  In  1853  this  house  was  enlarged  to  its  present  pro- 
portions, the  steeple  built,  and  the  bell  placed.  The  record  of 
that  time  reads:  "Old  Priest  Seward,"  who  served  the  church  for 
sixteen  years,  the  longest  pastorate  it  ever  had,  "preached  for  the 
first  time  in  our  meeting  house  enlarged  and  repaired."  In 
pastoral  service  the  experience  of  the  church  has  been  that  of 
short  duration.  In  the  early  days  professors  from  the  Western 
Reserve  College  often  supplied  the  pulpit.  There  have  been  the 
following  pastors  and  stated  supplies:  Revs.  Calvin  Porter,  J. 
Morton,  E.  Ward,  John  Seward,  D.  W.  Sharts,  Wm.  C.  Turner, 


Rev.   William   V.   Chapin.

Seymour,  H.  S.  Childs  and  John  E.  Carroll.  The  present  pastor, 
Rev.  W.  V.  Chapin,  began  his  labors  iu  August,  1893,  and  the 
field  has  been  richly  blessed.  Over  100  members  have  been 
added  to  the  membership,  which  had  been  forty-five,  and  almost 
all  the  members  thus  received  have  come  upon  confession  of 
their  faith.  For  the  first  time  in  its  history  the  church  has  be- 
come self-supporting.  There  is  a  good  C.  E.  Society,  and  the 
present  building  may  be  replaced  by  a  new  one. 

Parma  Church. 

November  7,  1835,  a  meet- 
ing was  called  to  organize  a  lit- 
tle band  of  Christians  into  a 
church.  Dr.  S.  C  Aiken,  of 
the  First  Church,  of  Cleveland, 
presided.  The  Confession  of 
Faith  and  Covenant  recom- 
mended by  the  Cleveland  Presby- 
tery, were  adopted.  It  was  ex- 
pected that  the  church  would  be 
Presbyterian,  but  the  majority 
having  been  connected  with  Con- 
gregational churches,  Dr.  Aiken 
refused  to  urge  them  to  do  what 
they  did  not  at  heart  wish  to  do, 
' '  These  brethren, "  said  he  ' '  wish 
to    organize    a      Congregational 

church,  and  Congregational  it  shall  be."  Eleven  persons  joined 
this  church  by  letter,  and  one  upon  confession  of  his  faith. 
Services  were  conducted  in  a  school-house  until  a  "meeting- 
house "  was  constructed.  It  was  a  plain  frame  building,  and 
was  ready  for  use  in  1841.  There  have  been  twenty-five  different 
periods  of  supply  in  the  pulpit  of  this  small  church,  down  to  the 
present  supply.  Rev.  Julius  Spencer,  who  began  his  labors 
October  i,  1S92.  There  have  never  been  over  sixty  members 
connected  with  this  church  at  any  one  time.  After  the  special 
meetings  conducted  by  Rev.  H.  H.  Wells,  D.D.,  the  church  took 
the  full  form  of  Presbyterian  government,  April  3,  1874.

Independence  Church. 

This  church  was  organized  June  24,  1837,  by  missionaries 
under  the  employ  of  the  Connecticut  Missionary  Society,  with 
but  six  charter  members.  For  nearly  twenty  years  the  church 
had  no  pastor,  but  was  supplied  by  different  missionaries  until 
the  settlement  of  Rev.  B.  F.  Sharp,  in  October,  1854.  Mr.  Sharp 
is  the  only  pastor  the  church  has  ever  had.  In  January,  1855, 
measures  were  instituted  for  the  erection  of  the  present  house  of 
worship,  services  having  been  previously  held  in  a  log  school- 
house,  and  in  the  Town  Hall.  The  present  stone  church  building 
was  completed  at  a  cost  of  $2,594.  This  building  was  paid  for 
under  the  pastorate  of  Mr.  Sharp,  and  Ins  been  the  home  of  the 
congregation  ever  since.  This  church  has  a  very  limited  field  of 
work.  The  population  has  greatly  changed  from  that  of  pioneer 
days,  and  Lutheran  and  Roman  Catholic  families  have  come  into 
the  place  with  their  churches,  but  preaching  services  are  main- 
tained in  the  old  Presbyterian  church,  conducted  for  the  most  part 
by  students  from  Oberlin  Theological  Seminary. 

Kingfsville  Church. 

This  church  was  organized  in  1844,  from  the  remnants  of  a 
previously  existing  Congregational  church.  At  first  the  govern- 
ment was  a  compromise  between  that  of  the  Congregational  and 
Presbyterian  polity,  in  order  to  please  the  old  members  of  the 
former  church.  The  church  has  gradually  merged  into  the 
Presbyterian  form,  with  a  few  exceptions  that  still  cling  to  it  as 
inherited  rights.  The  first  pastor  and  reorganizer  of  the  church 
was  Rev.  C.  E.  Williams,  who  served  eight  years.  There  have 
been  ten  pastors  and  stated  supplie^^  since.  Rev-  H.  W.  Palmer, 
the  second  pastor,  served  the  church  eighteen  years.  Rev.  D.  L- 
Hickok  served  eight  years.  The  other  terms  of  service  were 
short.  There  have  been  added  to  the  church,  since  its  organiza- 
tion, 455  members.  The  present  membership  is  eighty,  and  Rev. 
A.  H.  Caughey,  a  member  of  Erie  Presbytery,  is  the  stated 
supply. 

Milton  Churchy  Rittman^  O. 

This  church  was  organized  September  7,  1878,  with  seven 
members.     The   principal    mover   in   the   act   was  Rev.   J.     C.

his  family  at  Rittman.  The  first  church  building  was  erected  in 
1880  at  a  cost  of  $2,700,  of  which  $800  came  from  the  Board  of 
Church  Erection.  This  building  was  burned  in  the  winter  of 
1885,  without  any  insurance,  but  in  the  following  summer  a  new 
church  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  $2,880.  The  church  grew  until 
its  membership  reached  fifty-two  in  1887,  and  then  it  declined 
until  it  reached  twenty  in  1892.  It  was  self-supporting  the  iSrst 
ten  years,  but  the  financial  strain  of  building  two  edifices  crippled 
the  congregation.  Rev.  Mr.  Elliott  resigned  in  April,  1892. 
Since  that  time  tlie  pulpit  has  been  supplied  by  pastors  of 
neighboring  churches  at  Doylestown  and  Seville,  and  for  the 
past  two  years  Rev.  \'.  G.  Sheeley,  pastor  of  the  Guilford  Church, 
has  served  the  congregation,  the  Presbytery  helping  to  bear  the 
expense  of  maintaining  service.

Central  Church,  Akron. 

At  the  .spring  meeting  of 
Presbytery,  1891,  a  committee 
was  appointed  to  organize  the 
Central  Presbyterian  Church,  of 
Akron.  The  only  Presbyterian 
church  in  Akron  up  to  this  time 
was  the  old  Middlebury  church, 
now  in  the  sixth  ward  of  the 
city.  It  seemed  wise  in  a  rapid- 
ly growing  cit}'  of  30,000  people, 
to  thus  organize  a  Presbyterian 
church  in  the  more  central  por- 
tion of  the  city,  providing  a  field 
that  needed  a  church  could  be 
found.  Such  a  field  was  dis- 
covered, but  in  it  there  was  no 
place  suitable  for  worship.  Finally,  October  15,  1891,  a  school 
house  for  which  the  city  had  no  longer  any  need,  was  purchased 
by  Rev.  E  Lay  port,  pastor  of  the  First  Church,  of  Akron,  and 
this  was  held  for  the  Presbyterian  Church.  This  small  building 
was  furnished  with  chairs.  The  Board  of  Publication  contrib- 
uted liberally  Sunday-school  books,  lesson  helps,  and  Bibles. 
The  Presbyterian  Church  at  Columbus  Grove,  O.,  donated  a  pul- 
pit, and  the  floor  was  covered  with  matting  from  the  abandoned 
church  at  LaFayette.  The  house  was  opened  for  worship  the 
last  Sunday  in  November,  1891,  Rev.  E.  Layport  preaching  the 
sermon,  and  Rev.  J.  C  Elliott  making  some  remarks.  Services 
were  held  each  Sunday  afternoon  by  Mr.  Layport,  assisted  by 
Revs.  Elliott,  Notestein  and  Ludlow.  A  week  of  special  meet- 
ings was  observed  in  November,  conducted  mostly  by  Rev. 
Arthur  C.  Ludlow,  of  Cleveland.  The  organization  of  the  church 
was  effected  March  13,  1892.  Mr.  J.  H.  Sample,  formerly  elder 
in  the  church  at  Granville,  O.,  and  Mr.  W.  E.  Dempsey,  formerly 
elder  in  the  church  at  Akron,  were  installed  as  elders,  and  Dr.  J. 
H.  Seiler,  W.  C.  Dague  and  J.  H.  Sample,  were  elected  trustees. 
The  Rev.  J.  C  Elliott  was  called  in  April,  1892,  but  was  not  in- 
stalled until  the  completion  of  the   new  Chapel,    September    16,

1895.  The  present  church  propert)'  is  worth  jSy.ooo,  and  there  is 
good  prospect  of  its  soon  being  cleared  of  the  debt,  which,  at  the 
present  is  a  little  over  $1,000.  The  church  is  located  on  State 
street,  between  Main  and  High,  and  has  a  field  for  great  future 
usefulness. 

Wickliffe  Church. 

The  Wickliffe  Presb5'terian  Church  is  an  outgrowth  of  a 
Union  church,  which  had  existed  ten  years.  Fifteen  members 
desiring  a  closer  denominational  relation,  decided  to  form  a 
Presbyterian  church.  At  an  extra  meeting  of  the  Presbytery, 
called  in  August,  1893,  Rev.  E.  Bushnell,  D.D.,  Rev.  Wm. 
Knight,  and  Elder  E.  R.  Perkins,  were  delegated  to  form  a 
church.  This  was  done  September  3,  1893.  Rev.  R.  W. 
McLaughlin  served  the  church  one  year.  Rev.  F.  G.  Blanchard 
supplied  it  six  months,  during  which  time  sixteen  members  were 
added.  October  31,  1895,  Rev.  L.  E.  Lewis,  of  Chagrin  Falls, 
was  called,  preaching  his  first  sermon  November  24,  1895. 
Previous  to  his  coming  plans  had  been  made  for  a  new  church, 
and  the  building,  a  brick  structure  with  stone  trimmings,  is  now 
completed.  The  auditorium  seats  over  300,  with  a  Sunday- 
school  room  adjoining  seating  over  200.  The  building  is 
thoroughly  modern,  costing  over  $7,000,  and  is  almost  free  of 
debt.

East  Cleveland   Church. 


east  Cleveland  Cburcb. 


IN  1804,  five  families  from  Washington,  Penns^ivania,  founded 
their  homes  in  the  heart  of  an  almost  unbroken  forest,  east  of 
the  little  settlement  of  Cleveland.  A  rough  path,  the  beginning 
of  Euclid  Avenue,  wandered  tortuously  through  the  forest. 
These  five  families  brought  with  them  their  Presbyterian  faith 
and  practices,  and,  as  religious  privileges  were  to  them  as  nec- 
essary as  their  homes,  we  find  them,  three  years  after  their 
arrival,  responding  to  the  suggestion,  and  uniting  with  the 
efforts  of  earlier  settlers  in  forming  a  church. 

It  was  on  the  27th  of  August,  1807,  that  the  "Church  of  Christ 
in  Euclid,"  was  organized.     The  missionary  in    charge  was  Rev.

Win.  Wick,  and  tradition  says  that  the  gathering  place  was  the 
barn  of  Andrew  Mcllrath.  Another  tradition  has  it  that  the 
organization  was  formed  at  the  house  of  Nathaniel  Doan,  at 
Doan's  Corners,  at  that  time  a  more  central  place,  the  name  of 
Mr.  Doan  standing  first  on  the  roll  of  the  church. 

The  church  was  first  organized  on  the  "Plan  of  Union,"  but 
the  bent  toward  Presbyterianism  was  marked,  and  March  15,  1810, 
the  church  placed  itself  under  the  care  of  the  Hartford  Presbytery. 
In  the  same  year  a  log  church  was  erected  on  the  eastern  corner 
of  the  adjoining  cemetery,  on  land  obtained  from  Thomas 
Mcllrath,  John  Shaw,  and  Nehemiah  Dille.  Even  the  rude 
house  built  of  split  logs  could  not  be  finished  until  the  arrival,  in 
1811,  of  two  settlers  whose  knowledge  of  carpentry  enabled  them 
to  make  plain  benches  and  a  pulpit. 

Here  were  held  the  regular 
services  of  the  first  church  in  the 
Cleveland  Presbytery  under  its 
first  pastor,  Rev.  Thomas  Barr, 
and  for  almost  twenty  years  this 
was  the  only  church  that  aflforded 
religious  privileges  to  the  early 
settlers  of  Cleveland.  If  the  Old 
Stone  Church  is  called  the 
"Mother."  the  East  Cleveland, 
or  old  Euclid  Church,  should  be 
called  the  "Grandmother  of  Us 
All."  Although  the  church  is 
yet  out  of  the  city  limits,  it  is 
properly  a  city  church,  and  the 
near  annexatioa  of  Ea.st  Cleve- 
land to  the  City  of  Cleveland  will 
make  it  such  in  fact.  The  first  interment  in  the  Cemetery,  at  a 
corner  of  which  the  old  church  was  built,  was  that  of  Mrs.  Barr, 
wife  of  the  first  pastor,  aud  this  was  in  181 2.  During  the  whole 
existence  of  the  log  church,  it  is  said  to  have  been  the  only 
church  building  upon  the  Western  Reserve.  In  18 16  the  log 
church  was  replaced  by  a  frame  structure,  which  also  antedated 
any  church  building  in  the  county.  Again  the  people  built  out 
of  their  poverty  with  the  foresight  that  always  characterized  their

6o  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERLINISM. 

enterprises.  They  planned  for  the  future,  and  the  frame  church 
on  the  hill  was,  for  its  time,  as  imposing  as  the  present  new 
structure.  Its  steeple  was  high,  and  could  be  seen  for  miles 
around.  It  was  the  counterpart  of  the  New  England  meeting 
house,  a  type  found  in  any  Puritan  village. 

At  first  this  church  was  used  without  windows  or  pulpit,  and 
the  first  meeting,  which  was  not  of  formal  dedication,  was  very 
unique  and  impressive.  The  legend  is  that  there  arose  a  terrible 
thunderstorm.  The  pastor,  calling  the  frightened  congregation 
to  the  center  of  the  church,  while  the  lightning  rent  the  air  and 
the  crashing  trees  fell  in  the  forest  outside,  led  them  in  prayer  for 
protection  from  the  dangers  which  surrounded  them.  The  wind 
swept  through  the  empty  window  spaces,  and  his  voice  could  not 
be  heard  on  account  of  the  furious  noise  of  the  storm,  but  the 
silent  prayer-meeting,  where  death  seemed  so  near,  survived  in 
the  memories  of  those  present  as  the  most  awe-inspiring  service 
they  had  ever  known. 

In  1819  and  1820  the  work  on  the  church  was  resumed  and 
completed.  Pews  took  the  place  of  planks  laid  across  log  sup- 
ports, window  sills  and  glass  filled  the  spaces  left  empt}^  and  a 
fine  pulpit  graced  the  front.  Much  comfort  and  refinement  were 
thus  added,  but  through  many  succeeding  years  the  old  church 
was  unwarmed  in  winter,  and,  as  the  congregation  came  on  horse- 
back or  in  rude  carts  to  attend  morning,  afternoon  and  evening 
services  on  a  Sunday,  they  came  equipped  with  foot-stoves  and 
hand-warmers,  and  the  minister  preached  muffled  to  the  chin  to 
protect  himself  from  the  cold.  With  the  era  of  stoves  and  other 
comforts,  changes  were  made  to  keep  pace  with  the  march 
of  improvements.  The  steeple  of  the  church  was  lowered  and 
the  galleries  were  removed.  The  galleries  had  been  erected  on 
three  sides  of  the  building,  and  the  pulpit  had  been  lifted  high 
above  the  heads  of  the  people.  Now  the  church  was  converted, 
by  the  introduction  of  a  new  floor,  into  a  two-story  building,  the 
upper  floor  containing  the  audience,  and  the  basement  the 
prayer-meeting  rooms.  The  high  pulpit  was  replaced  by  a  low 
desk.  This  renovated  edifice  remained  the  house  of  worship 
until  the  present   fine   stone   church  was  erected  and  dedicated. 

The  new  work  was  begun  in  1893.  The  Sunday-school 
building   was    dedicated  and  occupied  by  the  church  February

The  first  pastor  of  tlie  East  Cleveland  Church,  Rev.  Thomas 
Barr.  served  from  18 10  to  1820.  Rev.  Stephen  Peet  served  as 
pastor  from  1826  to  1833.  Rev.  S.  E.  Scott  and  Rev.  E-  Adams 
were  stated  supplies  from  1S34  to  1836.  The  third  pastor  was 
Rev.  H.  Blodgett,  from  1837  to  1843.  The  church  then  had  three 
stated  supplies,  Revs.  E.  N.  Nichols,  B.  S.  J.  Page,  and  Wm.

1877  to  1879  Rev.  T.  S.  Scott  supplied  the  church,  and 
the  seventh  pastor  was  Rev.  R.  D.  Scott,  whose  terra  of  service 
was  from  1879  to  1882.  The  present  pastor,  Rev.  D.  h.  Hickok, 
was  installed  in  1882,  and  has  served  faithfully  unto  the  present 
time.  Under  his  guidance  the  old  church  has  been  transformed 
into  what  is  destined  to  be  a  strong  city  church,  and  that  in  the 
near  future.

fiistorv  of  tbe  ?ir$t  Presbyterian,  or  Old  Stone  Church. 


THE  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Cleveland,  was  the  out- 
growth of  a  Union  Sunday-school,  held  in  a  primitive  log 
court  house,  on  what  is  now  the  Public  Square.  The  court 
house  itself  was  made  of  hewn  logs,  boarded  outside,  and  painted 
red.     Cleveland  was  then  a  straggling  village  of  150  inhabitants. 


68  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND   PRESBYTERIANISM. 

The  school,  opened  in  June,  1819 — Mr.  Elisha  Taylor,  superin- 
tendent, and  Mr.  Moses  White,  a  leading  Baptist,  secretary — 
issued  Tuesday,  September  19,  1820,  into  the  organization  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church.  It  was  due  to  Mr.  Taylor,  chiefly, 
that  the  little  band  of  fourteen,  six  upon  confession  of  faith,  were 
led  to  "adopt  the  Presbyterian  doctrine  and  discipline."  The 
names  of  the  charter  members  are  thus  chronicled  in  the  records 
of  that  time:  Elisha  Taylor  and  Ann,  his  wife  ;  T.  J.  Hamlin, 
P.  B.  Andrews,  Sophia  L,.  Perry,  widow;  Bertha  Johnson,  widow; 
Sophia  Walworth,  Mrs.  Mabel  How,  Henry  Baird  and  Ann,  his 
wife;  Rebecca  Carter,  widow,  Juliana Eong,  Isabella  Williamson, 
Miss  Harriet  How,  Minerva  Merwin. 

At  this  time  Cleveland  was  a  very  unpretentious  village, 
located  in  an  allotment  a  mile  square,  mostly  uncleared,  but  ex- 
ceedingly eligible  as  a  site  for  residences.  In  1820  the  first  stage 
coach  arrived  from  the  East,  and  gave  the  citizens  public  com- 
munication with  the  outside  world.  Two  years  later  the  first 
steamer  plowed  the  waters  of  Lake  Erie,  increasing  the 
facilities  for  traffic  and  travel.  At  that  time  there  was  a  little 
hamlet  at  Doan's  Corners,  and  another  at  Newburgh.  Between, 
rose  primitive  forests,  where  wolves  and  bears  sometimes  con- 
tested the  right  of  possession. 

For  thirteen  years,  until  the  basement  of  the  first  "Old 
Stone  Church  "  was  ready  for  occupancy,  the  little  band  of  believ- 
ers had  no  fixed  habitation.  For  two  years  they  met  in  the 
court  house,  but  sometimes  in  the  school  house  on  St.  Clair 
street;  then  in  the  academy,  also  on  St.  Clair  street;  and  finally 
in  the  third  story  of  Dr.  Long's  building,  now  embraced  in  the 
American  House.  The  congregation  was  still  small  and  poor,  and 
the  building  of  a  church  was  a  formidable  undertaking.  But  the 
society  having  been  incorporated  in  1827,  plans  were  adopted, 
and  the  building  commenced  on  the  present  site  in  1832,  was  dedi- 
cated February  26,  1834.  The  number  of  communicants  at  this 
time  was  ninety- four.  Up  to  this  time  there  had  been  no  settled 
ministry,  and  the  supplies  had  been  rather  transient  than  stated. 
The  ministers  who  supplied  were  as  follows:  Rev.  Randolph 
Stone,  1820-182 1;  Rev.  Wm.  McLean,  1822;  Rev.  S.  J.  Brad- 
street,  1 8 23- 1 830;  Rev.  John  Sessions,  1831,  a  part;  Rev. 
Samuel  Hutchings,  1832-1833;  Rev.  John  Keep,  1833-1835.     The

70  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

Rev.  John  Keep,  the  last  stated  suppl}-,  December  i8,  1834, 
moderated  a  meeting  on  the  west  side  of  the  river,  which  resulted 
in  the  organization  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Brooklyn, 
and  he  became  its  pastor.  This  church  is  now  the  First  Congre- 
gational Church,  of  Cleveland. 

All  the  stated  supplies  were  devoted  and  excellent  men.  In 
1835,  the  year  President  Finney  began  his  work  at  Oberlin, 
Samuel  C.  Aiken,  D.  D.,  of  Utica,  N.  Y.,  was  called  to  the  pastor- 
ate of  the  First  church.  He  accepted,  entered  upon  his  labors 
the  7th  of  June,  and  was  installed  the  24th  of  November. 

At  this  time  Cleveland  was  a  village  of  5,080  inhabitants, 
and  the  next  year,  1836,  became  an  incorporated  cit}'.  Besides 
Trinity  Church,  incorporated  one  year  after  the  Old  Stone,  the 
Methodists  had  gained  a  footing,  the  Baptists  were  organized,  the 
Roman  Catholics  had  built  their  first  church  in  1835  on  the  flats, 
and  the  first  Bethel  Church  had  been  opened  on  the  side  hill. 
There  were  now  five  denominations  represented  in  the  village. 
At  Newburgh  a  church  had  been  organized  in  1832,  now  the 
Miles  Park  Church,  and  at  Doan's  Corners  a  Presbyterian  Church 
was  organized  in  18^13.  One  woman,  it  is  said,  carried  it  for 
Presbj^terianism  against  fort}'  men,  but  it  did  not  remain  Presby- 
terian. After  ten  years  of  independent  life  this  church  became 
the  Euclid  Avenue  Congregational  Church.  Eastward,  in  Colla- 
mer,  there  had  been  a  church  since  1807. 

Soon  after  Dr.  Aiken  settled,  as  pastor  of  the  First  Church, 
the  church  building  was  outgrown,  and  to  relieve  the  pressure  a 
colon}^  of  "twenty  of  the  best  families"  went  forth  in  1836  to 
form  a  second  Presbyterian  Church,  securing  a  charter  under 
date  of  April  3,  1837.  After  a  year  the  enterprise  was  abandoned, 
and  the  members  returned  to  their  old  church  home.  The  finan- 
cial crash  of  1837  is  thought,  for  one  thing,  to  have  crippled  its 
strength. 

A  powerful  revival  in  1840,  under  the  ministry  of  Rev\  J.  T. 
Avery,  added  to  this  church  about  170  members,  and  prepared 
the  way  for  a  secession  from  the  church  of  some  who  had  become 
dissatisfied  with  Dr.  Aiken's  conservative  position  on  the  slavery 
question,  to  form  a  Congregational  Church.  This  enterprise  was 
wrecked  by  Second  Adventism,  the  current  "perfectionism"  of 
the  day,  and  kindred   errors.     The   church   edifice   of  this  new

enterprise  was  sold  and  the  members  disbanded,  some  returning 
to  the  mother  church. 

In  June,  1844,  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church  was  organ- 
ized on  the  old  charter  of  1837.  The  meeting  for  the  formation 
of  this  church  was  held  in  the  basement  of  the  Stone  Church,  Dr. 
Aiken  presiding.  Fiftj'-five  letters  were  granted  b}^  the  First 
Church  to  those  forming  the  new  organization. 

Six  years  later,  March  25,  1850,  as  a  result,  in  part  at  least, 
of  the  anti-slavery  agitation,  another  church  of  thirty  members 
was  formed,  known  for  two  years  as  the  Free  Presbyterian 
Church,  but  since  then  as  the  Plymouth  Congregational    Church. 

It  was  about  this  time,  February,  1851,  that  the  first  railroad 
entered  Cleveland  from  Columbus.  It  was  a  great  event,  bring- 
ing to  the  city  as  it  happened,  over  Sunday,  a  great  many  notable 
men,  who  listened  to  Dr.  Aiken's  commemorative  sermon,  which 
has  become  historic.  The  text  was  the  graphic  word  picture  of 
Nahum:  "The  chariots  rage  in  the  streets,  they  jo.stle  one  against 
another  in  the  broadways;  the  appearance  of  them  is  like  torches, 
they  run  like  lightning." 

Three  years  later,  January  25,  1S53;  owing  to  the  over- 
crowded condition  of  the  Old  First,  the  Euclid  Street  Presby- 
teiian  Church  was  organized  in  the  spirit  of  good  will,  with 
thirteen  from  the  mother  church,  among  whom  was  the  veteran 
Klisha  Taylor,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  First  Church.  The 
next  step  lorward  on  the  sight  of  the  Old  First  was  the  erection 
of  a  new  and  large  church  edifice,  at  a  cost  of  $60,000.  It  was 
pushed  forward  with  unanimity,  and  entered  with  gladness 
August  12,  1855.  Within  two  years,  March  7,  1857,  this  new 
edifice  was  burned.  Instead  of  weakening,  this  calamity  contri- 
buted to  the  unity,  the  pecuniary  strength  and  prosperity  of  the 
congregation.  An  insurance  of  $30,000  enabled  the  society  to 
rebuild  at  once,  except  galleries  and  spire,  and  the  new  edifice 
was  dedicated  January  17,  1858.  This  same  year,  August  12, 
Dr.  Wm.  H.  Goodrich  became  associate  pa.stor  with  Dr.  Aiken. 
Three  years  later,  April,  1861,  Dr.  Aiken  was  made  pastor 
emeritus,  upon  an  annual  stipend  of  $1,000.  During  his  pasto- 
rate of  twentj^-tbree  years  880  united  with  the  church.  The  work 
of  Dr.  Aiken  these  words  of  Dr.  Goodrich  describe:  "There  was 
at  this  time,  an  unusual  disposition  toward  spurious    excitement.

which  gave  abundant  occasion  for  mischief  in  the  church, 
especially  among  the  newer  settlements.  The  dreams  of  per- 
fectionism, the  vagaries  of  Millerism,  and  the  premonitory  stir 
and  struggle  of  the  great  anti-slavery  and  temperance  movements 
were  engrossing  many  minds,  and  throwing  unstable  men  every- 
where off  their  balance.  In  such  a  time  Dr.  Aiken  came  to  the 
pastorate  of  the  First  Church.  To  his  clear  and  practical 
wisdom,  his  weight  of  character,  as  well  as  to  his  unselfish  conse- 
cration to  the  service  of  Christ,  we  owe  it  that  this  church  escaped 
the  disorders  which  rent  so  many  other  Christian  bodies,  and 
held  on  its  way  with  growing  strength  and  unity." 

Dr.  Goodrich's  pastorate  extended  from  1858  to  July  11, 
1874,  three  years  at  the  beginning  as  associate  with  Dr.  Aiken, 
the  last  two  as  senior  pastor  with  Hiram  C.  Haydn.  These  two 
years  were  wholly  spent  abroad,  in  the  vain  hope  of  restoring 
health.  He  passed  away  from  earth  in  Lausanne,  Switzerland, 
July  1 1,  1874.  Dr.  Aiken  survived  him,  but  for  the  most  part  in 
shattered  health,  passing  avvay  January  i,  1879. 

The  period  of  Dr.  Goodrich's  pastorate  was  one  of  wonderful 
growth  in  the  city  and  in  the  churches.  In  1S68  the  church 
galleries  were  constructed  and  the  spire  completed,  and  in  1871, 
under  the  leadership  of  Hon.  George  H.  El}',  a  still  greater  im- 
provement transformed  the  narrow  chapel  and  parlors  into  the 
roomier  ones  on  an  enlarged  site.  These  rooms  were  greatly 
enjoyed,  but  twenty  years  later  they  were  overshadowed  and 
darkened  by  adjacent  buildings,  and  finally'  replaced  by  the  pres- 
ent Sunday-school  building,  constructed  under  the  leadership  of 
Superintendent  Charles  L.  Kimball. 

Rev.  Hiram  C.  Haydn  was  installed  associate  pastor  with  Dr. 
Goodrich  at  the  close  of  August,  1872.  It  was  the  last  Sabbath 
Dr.  Goodrich  ever  spent  with  the  First  Church.  The  period 
from  1872-80  was  marked  by  no  extraordinary  changes.  It  was 
one  of  healthy  growth  at  home,  and  in  the  North  Church  mission. 

From  1880-84  Dr.  Arthur  Mitchell  was  senior  pastor.  He 
took  up  the  work  of  Dr.  Haydn,  laid  down  for  a  missionary 
secretaryship  in  New  York,  and  from  it  at  the  end  of  that  period, 
went  himself,  to  a  similar  work  at  the  call  of  the  Presbyterian 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  in  which  he  served  until  his  death. 
The  old  church  was  burned  a  second  time  January  5,  1884.     This

unsettling  event  and  Dr.  Mitchell's  ardent  and  intelligent  zeal  for 
missions,  emphasized  the  call  which  was  being  urged  upon  him, 
to  enter  this  field.  These  were  years  not  to  be  forgotten  by 
many  who  enjoyed  his  devout  and  able  ministry,  and  were  led  to 
share  his  enlarged  views  of  church  life  and  work.  He  was 
seconded  by  Rev.  Rollo  Ogden,  who  became  his  son-in-law,  and 
later  by  Rev.  J.  W.  Simpson,  now  president  of  Marietta 
College. 

The  old  church  was  rebuilt  at  a  cost  of  $35,000,  exclusive  of 
memorial  windows,  and  made  more  attractive  than  ever.  Dr. 
Haydn  was  recalled  to  the  pastorate,  with  Rev.  Wilton  Merle 
Smith,  now  Dr.  Smith,  of  New  York  Cit3%  as  associate  pa.stor. 
The  work  from  this  time  became  collegiate,  Calvary  Mission  hav- 
ing regular  preaching  services.  Rev.  Joseph  H.  Selden,  of  Erie, 
now  of  Elgin,  111.,  succeeded  Dr.  Smith,  and  in  the  autumn  of 
1890  Rev.  Bert  E.  Howard,  now  of  lyos  Angeles,  California,  was 
called  as  a  second  associate  pastor,  and  the  Bolton  Chapel  was 
taken  under  the  wing  of  the  First  Church.  The  breaking  up  of 
the  Collegiate  system  was  by  mutual  consent,  and  was  ch'efl}'  due 
to  the  largeness  of  the  field,  and  the  consequent  diffusion  of 
pastoral  influence. 

Rev.  William  Knight  was  then  called  to  the  associate  pa.sto- 
rate  of  the  Old  Stone  Church,  with  Dr.  Haydn,  and  another  de- 
parture was  made,  which  contemplated  a  more  distinct  effort  for 
the  down  town  population.  Mr.  Knight  was  called  to  Saginaw, 
Mich.,  after  two  vears'  service. 

During  this  period,  1884-1893,  the  senior  pastor.  Dr.  Haydn, 
was  for  three  years  president  of  the  Western  Reserve  University. 
To  make  good  the  partial  withdrawal  from  pastoral  work  Rev. 
Giles  H.  Dunning  was  called  from  Buffalo.  Under  his  direction 
a  Sunday-school  of  about  300  was  gathered  on  the  West  Side. 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  from  the  first,  this  church,  the 
original  fountain  of  Presbyterianism  in  Cleveland,  began  to  give 
out  while  as  yet  it  was  small,  to  replenish  itself  and  again  give 
forth,  and  so  on  unto  this  very  day.  Its  location,  at  first  central 
to  its  constituency,  has  for  many  years  been  in  the  heart  of  the 
business  center.  About  750  of  its  members  have  aided  in  found- 
ing new  enterprises.  There  have  been  received  from  the  begin- 
ning to  the  present  time  over  4,000  communicants.     The  original

founders  and  many  of  the  early  members  have  passed  away,  but 
the  church  still  stands,  in  the  center  of  an  immense  population; 
within  a  half  mile  of  its  doors  live  15,000  people,  and  the  church 
thus  has  a  mission  as  important  as  ever. 

Under  Dr.  Haydn's  consecrated  and  energetic  rule  the  Old 
Stone  Church  is  preparing  to  do  important  institutional  work  in 
the  heart  of  the  city  of  Cleveland.

FOR  some  years  previous  to  the  organization  of  the  Miles  Park 
Presbyterian  Church  occasional  sermons  were  preached  in 
]irivate  houses  in  Newburgh,  and  a  Sunday-school  was  formed. 
This  school  held  its  first  session  in  a  small  room  in  the  home  of 
a  Mr.  Fuller  ;  there  being  present  but  eight  persons  including 
pupils  and  teachers.     The  attendance  doubled  for  three  succeed-

ing  Sundays,  so  that  there  were  about  seventy-five  pupils 
enrolled.  This  school  was  maintained  until  the  church  was 
established,  and  being  the  only  Sunday-school  in  Newburgh  it 
was  a  union  work,  supported  by  all  the  Christian  families  in  the 
place. 

December   31.    1832,    a   meeting    was    held    to    organize   a 
church.     Rev.  Stephen  Peet,  of  Euclid,  presided  at  the  meeting, 

assisted  by  the  Rev.  Harvey 
Lyon.  The  original  members 
were  Edward  and  Theodosia 
Taylor,  James  and  Sarah  Ash- 
well,  James  and  Elizabeth  South- 
ern, John  and  Martha  Stair, 
John  and  Amy  Reighter,  and 
Elizabeth  Derrick.  These  per- 
sons constituted  the  new  church, 
called  the  First  Congregational 
Church  of  Newburgh,  but  the 
new  organization  placed  itself 
under  the  care  of  the  Cleveland 
Presbytery,  on  the  principle  of 
the  Plan  of  Union.  The  church 
was  organized  and  held  its  first 
a  building  on  Miles  avenue,  which

meetings  in  a  small  room   in 
was  used  as  a  carpenter  shop. 

In  December,  1841,  a  charter  of  incorporation  was  secured 
from  the  State  Legislature,  under  the  title  of  the  "First  Presby- 
terian Society  of  Newburgh,"  with  William  Billings,  Adam 
Meech,  John  Stair,  John  Givens,  Isaac  Cody,  Isaac  Reed, 
Nathan  Ingersoll,  William  Davidson,  William  Kerr,  John  Reed, 
Gurdon  Meech  and  Alexander  Webster,  as  members. 

The  first  regular  meeting  of  this  society  was  held  in  the 
Town  Hall,  March  10,  1842.  Elijah  Ingersoll  was  chosen  presid- 
ing officer,  and  Isaac  Reed,  Elijah  Ingersoll  and  Adam  Meech 
were  elected  trustees;  William  Davidson  was  made  treasurer,  and 
William  Billings  clerk. 

In  the  following  May,  at  a  regular  meeting,  a  piece  of  land 
on  Woodland  Hills  avenue,   facing  the  Hospital   for   the  Insane, 


MILE.S    PARK    PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH.  89 

was  presented  to  the  society  through  Elijah  Ingersoll,  by  Mr. 
George  Walker,  of  New  York,  who  owned  considerable  land  in 
the  locality.  Upon  this  site  the  first  house  of  worship  was 
erected  and  dedicated  July  14,  1842. 

The  Rev.  John  Keys  began  his  labors  as  stated  supply  in 
1835,  remaining  until  1838.  He  was  succeeded  in  June,  1839,  by 
Rev.  Matthew  Fox,  who  labored  as  stated  supply  until  1845. 

In  the  3'ear  1840,  when  the  church  was  made  Presbyterian 
in  polity,  it  withdrew  from  the  Cleveland  Presbytery,  and  was 
taken  under  the  care  of  the  Old  School  Presbytery,  of  Wooster, 
but  it  returned  to  the  care  of  the  Cleveland  Presbytery  in  1845. 
John  Stair,  William  Billings  and  Adam  Meech  formed  the  first 
session. 

At  the  close  of  Mr.  Fox's  labors  there  was  no  regular  preach- 
ing for  some  time,  and  then  Rev.  Mr.  McReynolds  was  engaged, 
who  remained  stated  supply  two  years. 

In  June,  1849,  the  Rev.  James 
Shaw,  D.D.,  began  his  ministry  as 
settled  pastor.     He  remained    in    the 

work   in    this    field    until    November,  %     <-«•»*-. 

1859,  a  little  over  ten  years,  and  was 
much  beloved  by  the  people.  After 
Dr.  Shaw's  pastorate,  Rev.  Erastus 
Chester  supplied  the  pulpit  for  a  year. 
Rev.  E.  W.  Childs,  at  present  pa.-^tor 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Gran- 
ville, O.,  succeeded  Mr.  Chester,  and 
remained  two  years. 

The  Rev.  William  Turner  was  in-  Rev.  James  Shaw,  D.D. 

stalled  in  1862,  but  in  1864  he  received 

leave  of  absence  to  enter  upon  the  service  as  Chaplain  in  the 
army  during  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  and  his  place  was  filled  b}' 
the  temporary  services  of  Rev.  Jo.seph  S.  FMwards.  In  1865  Mr. 
Turner  resumed  his  work  as  pastor,  but  resigned  in  March,  1867. 

For  many  years  the  growth  of  the  church  was  slow,  and  the 
society  was  obliged  to  receive  the  assistance  of  the  Home  Mission- 
ary Society  to  maintain  regular  services.  During  the  latter  part  of 
Mr.  Turner's  pastorate  Newburgh  began  to  grow  in  population, 


90  HISTORY    OF    CIvEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

through  the  establishment  of  pioneer  manufacturing  interests, 
from  which  have  grown  the  Cleveland  and  the  Union  Rolling 
Mill  Companies.     This  produced  a  more  vigorous  church  life. 

Rev.  Eleroy  Curtis,  D.D.,  began  his  labors  June  i6,  1867, 
and  was  installed  May  19,  1S6S.  At  the  commencement  of  this 
pastorate  there  were  enrolled  106  members,  while  only  about 
seventy  were  resident  in  the  place.     Under  the  leadership  of  Dr. 

Curtis  the  church  made  plans  for  a  new 
building.     The  site  on   Miles  Park   was 
selected,     and  the   present   brick  edifice 
*  '9^  was  erected.     The  corner-stone  was   laid 

May  23,  1869,  but  the  formal  dedication 
did  not  occur  until  May  12,  1872,  the 
basement  having  been  used  for  two  years 
as  a  place  of  worship.  For  seventeen 
years  Dr.  Curtis  conducted  an  afternoon 
service  at  the  Asylum  for  the  Insane,  in 
addition  to  the  services  in  his  church, 
and  he  was,  for  a  number  of  years.  Stated 
Rev.  Eleroy  Curtis,  D.D.  Clerk  of  Presbytery.  He  was  beloved,  not 
only  by  the  people  of  Newburgh,  but  by 
the  church  at  large  in  Cleveland.  Under  his  pastorate  the  Miles 
Park  Church  kept  pace  with  the  growth  of  the  village,  until  it 
became  a  part  of  the  city.  Over  500  persons  were  added  to  the 
church  during  this  long  pastorate.  After  ninteen  3'ears  of  serv- 
ice Dr.  Curtis  died  March  31,  1886,  leaving  the  work  of  his  ripest 
years  to  one  beginning  the  ministerial  career. 

The  present  pastor,  Rev.  Arthur  C.  Dudlow,  had  been  in- 
vited to  assist  Dr.  Curtis  during  the  summer  of  1886,  having- 
completed  his  second  year  in  the  Seminar}-.  Before  he  reached 
Cleveland  Dr.  Curtis  had  died.  Mr.  Ludlow  supplied  the  pulpit 
that  summer,  and  received  a  call  on  condition  of  finishing  the 
third  year  of  the  course  at  Union  Theological  Seminary.  During 
the  eight  months  necessary  to  complete  this  course,  the  pulpit 
was  supplied  by  Rev.  E.  Bushnell,  D.D.,  and  Prof.  E.  P.  Cleave- 
land,  of  Adelbert  College.  Mr.  Ludlow  was  installed  May  17, 
1887,  and  still  continues  to  labor  in  the  field.  A  new  Sunday- 
school  building  has  been  erected,  which  has  largel}-  added  to  the 


MILES    PARK    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH.

facilities   of   the  church  for  social,  as  well  as  spiritual  life.     This 
building  was  dedicated  January  15th,  1893. 

During  the  past  year  the  church  edifice  has  been  enlarged 
and  renovated,  so  that  the  interior  is  more  beautiful  and  attractive. 
The  hope  of  this  old  church  lies  in  the  strong  body  of  young  peo- 
ple, who  are  very  active.  During  the  present  pastorate,  about 
250  persons  have  been  added  to  the  church  upon  confession 
of  faith,  and  a  goodly  number  by  letter.  A  very  promising 
mission  Sunday-school,  under  the  management  of  Mr.  William 
A.  Galpin,  is  conducted  at  Forest  Dale,  which,  in  time,  should 
grow  into  a  Presbyterian  Church.

Second    Presbyterian   Church. 


filstorv  of  tbe  Second  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


THE     Second     Presbyterian     Church    was   organized     June 
1 2th,    1844,   0°   the  old  charter  of  1837,  at  which  time  an 

unsuccessful  attempt  had  been  made  to  form  a  church.     June  4th, 

1844,    a  preliminary  meeting  of  all  persons  friendly  to  the  new 

enterprise  had  been  held  in  the  session  room  of  the  First  Church. 

At  this  meeting  Mr.  William  A.  Otis   was  called  to  the  chair,  and 

Mr.  T.  P.  Handy  was  appointed  secretary. 

The  following  resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted  : 
Resolved,  That    when   we  organize  ourselves  into  a  church  it 

be  styled  "The  Second  Presbyterian  Church  of  Cleveland." 

Resolved,  That  we  adopt  a  similar  form  of  government  as  at 

present  held  by  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,    with  their  form 

of  Covenant  and  Confession  of  Faith. 


THE    SECOND    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH. 


Resolved,  T\vc\t  Rev.  S.  B.  Canfield,  of  Ohio  City  (now 
Cleveland,  West  Side)  is  our  first  choice  to  act  as  pastor  of  said 
church,  when  duly  organized.  A  committee  was  appointed, 
consisting  of  S.  H.  Fox,  J.  F.  Taintor  and  H,  C.  Kingsley,  to 
ascertain  the  names  of  such  members  of  the  First  Church  as  pro- 
posed to  join  the  new  organization.  The  charter  members  signed 
their  names  to  a  paper,  the  spirit  of  which  shows  that  the  exodus 
of  the  members  from  the  First  Church  was  not  due  in  the  least  to 
any  dissatisfaction  with  the  mother  church.  The  meeting  to 
consider  the  removal  of  members  from  the  First  Church  was 
publicly  called,  held  in  the  session  room  of  the  church  about  to 
be   left,    and    presided  over    by  Dr.  Aiken,  pastor  of  the  church. 

At  this  meeting,  held  Wednes- 
day evening,  June  12,  1844, 
fifty-eight  members  were  en- 
rolled, of  whom  all  but  five 
were  received  from  the  First 
Church. 

Six  ruling  Elders  and 
three  Deacons  were  unani- 
mously elected  by  ballot  as 
follows: 

Ruling  Elders  —  David 
Long,  M.  D.,  Henry  Sexton, 
Jeremiah  Holt,  Eli  Morgan, 
Jesse  F.  Taintor,  Samuel  H. 
Mather. 

Deacons — Wm.    A.    Otis, 
H.     Fox. 

Elder  Samuel  H.  Mather  was  elected  Clerk  of  the  Session, 
which  office  he  filled  for  forty  consecutive  years,  resigning  in 
May,  1884. 

Two  days  after  this  meeting  the  officers  met  in  the  office  of 
Mr.  T.  P.  Handy,  and  voted  to  extend  a  call  to  Rev.  Sherman  B. 
Canfield  to  become  pastor  of  the  church. 

The  house  of  worship  w^hich  had  been  built  by  an  organiza- 
tion known  as  the  First  Congregational  Church,  located  at  the 
north-west  corner  of  the  Public  Square,  was  purchased  for  S3, 200,

and   there   the    Second    Presbyterian     Church     commenced     its 
services. 

Mr.  Canfield  accepted  the  call  of  the  church,  and  was 
installed  as  pastor  on  the  evening  of  September  3,  1844,  the 
sermon  being  preached  by  Rev.  Samuel  C  Aiken,  D.D.,  pastor 
of  the  First  Church.  The  first  prayer-meeting  was  held  in  the 
commodious  audience  room,  September  6,  1844,  ^^d  was  a  meet- 
ing of  deep  consecration  of  the  members  to  the  new  work. 

On  September  8,  the  Sunday-school  was  organized,  with 
fifteen  teachers  and  forty-five  scholars.  Mr.  T.  P.  Handy  was 
elected  superintendent. 

The  pastorate  of  Rev.  Mr.  Canfield  continued  for  nearly  ten 
years.     Its  success  justified  the  wisdom  of  the    founders    of  the

church,  who  at  their  first  meeting,  before  the  church  was  formed, 
resolved  that  he  should  be  their  pastor.  Mr.  Canfield  was  i:ot  a 
rugged  man  physically,  but  he  was  a  man  of  sterling  mental  and 
spiritual    qualities.     He    possessed     a  ^  ^ 

vigorous  intellect,  a  refined  and  culti- 
vated manner,  and  a  heart  full  of 
kindness  and  sympathy.  During  his 
pastorate  there  were  added  to  the 
church  349  members. 

In  the  spring  of  1850,  the  congre- 
gation having  increased  so  that  the 
church  building  was  inadequate  to 
accommodate  it,  a  lot  was  purchased 
on    the   south  side  of  Superior  street, 

east  of  the  Public  Square,  the  site  of      Rev.  Sherman   B.  Canfield,  D.D. 
the  present  "Crocker  Block,"  and  ar- 
rangements  were    made   to   construct    upon    it    a   new  house  of 
worship.     The  old  edifice  was  sold  to  the  Second  Baptist  Church, 
and  it  was  removed  to  the  corner  of  Erie  street  and  Central    ave- 
nue, where  it  now  stands. 

In  1 85 1  the  new  church  building  so  far  neared  its  completion 
that  services  were  held  in  the  lecture  room  in  October.  The 
audience  room  was  completed  in  1852,  and  service  was  fir.st  held 
in  it,  in  May  of  that  year. 

On  April  23,  1854,  Dr.  Canfield  was,  at  his  own  request,  and 
greatly  to  the  regret  of  his  people,  dismissed  from  the  church  to 
accept  a  call  to  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Syracuse,  N.  Y. 
There  he  labored  with  great  success  until  the  time  of  his  death, 
March  5,    1871. 

On  September  27,  1854,  a  call  was  extended  to  Rev.  James 
Eells,  of  Penn  Yan,  N.  Y.,  to  become  pastor  of  the  church.  Mr. 
Eells  accepted,  and  commenced  bis  labors  on  November  loth, 
following.  He  was  installed  January  24th,  1855,  the  sermon 
being  preached  by  the  venerable  father  of  the  pastor,  Rev.  James 
Eells,  for  many  years  a  home  missionary  in  Northern  Ohio.  The 
ancestors  of  Mr.  Eells  had,  for  a  period  of  more  than  200  years, 
without  a  break  in  the  succession,  been  ministers  in  the  Presby- 
terian or  Congregational  Church  in  New  England.    Mr.  Eells  was

HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 


Rev.  James  Eells,  D.D. 


thirty-two  years  of  age  when  settled  in  the  pastorate  of  this 
church.  He  was  tall  and  graceful  in  figure,  with  a  certain  dig- 
nity in  demeanor,  yet  he  was  approachable, 
affable  and  courteous.  He  was  everybody's 
friend.  His  preaching  was  less  profound  and 
logical  than  that  of  Dr.  Canfield,  but  he  had  a 
faculty  of  convincing  his  hearers  of  the  in- 
tense earnestness  of  his  convictions,  and  when 
he  spoke,  people  felt  that  his  words  reflected 
the  deep  feeling  of  his  heart. 

In  i860,  on  account  of  the  ill  health  of 
Mrs.  Eells,  Mr.  Eells  asked  for  a  dismission 
from  the  pastorate  of  this  church.  This  was 
reluctlanth^  granted  him  on  April  3,  1S60.  Mr. 
Eells  went  to  the  Reformed  "Church  on  the 
Heights,"  in  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  During  his  ministry  of  five  years 
in  the  Second  Church,  the  additions  had  been  265. 

In  March,  1861,  a  call  was  issued  to  Rev.  Theron  H. 
Hawks,  of  West  Springfield,  Mass.,  and  was  accepted,  Mr. 
Hawks  commencing  his  labors  April  21st.  On  the  26th  of  the 
same  month  he  was  duly  installed  by  the  Presbytery  of  Cleve- 
land. 

During  the  pastorate  of  Dr.  Hawks,  extending  over  a  period 
of  seven  5'ears,  200  persons  were  added  to  the  church.  Dr. 
Hawks  combined  many  qualifications  which  are  essential  to  a 
successful  ministry.  He  was  scholarly 
in  his  tastes,  a  pleasing  and  effective 
speaker,  and  a  devoted  pastor.  On  April 
26,  1868,  Dr.  Hawkes  was,  at  his  own 
request,  dismissed  from  the  pastorate, 
and  later  accepted  a  call  to  the  First 
Congregational  Church  of  Marietta, 
Ohio,  where  he  remained  for  many  years. 
He    now   resides  in  Springfield,    Mass. 

For  a  year  and  a  half  after  the  de- 
parture of  Dr.  Hawks  the  church  had 
been  engaged  in  energetic  but  fruitless 
efforts  to  secure  a  satisfactor}-  successor,

when  a  correspondence  was  opened  with  Dr.  Eells,  who  was  then 
pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  San  Francisco,  and 
this  resulted  in  extending  to  him  a  call  to  become  a  second  time 
pastor  of  the  church.  A  feeling  of  discouragement  which  had 
come  over  the  church  began  to  give  way.  The  people  ralhed 
with  the  old  time  enthusiasm,  but  this  second  pastorate  of  Dr. 
Eells  was  destined  to  be  short.  The  health  of  the  pastor  became 
impaired  through  excessive  labor,  and  that  of  his  wife,  whose 
serious  illness  had  compelled  his  removal  ten  years  before,  again 
became  critical,  so  that  in  September,  1871,  Dr.  Eells  expressed 
his  fear  that  he  might  be  obliged  to  resign.  lycave  of  absence  for 
six  months  was  granted,  and  it  was  hoped  that  rest  and  a  change 
of  climate  might  bring  relief.  In  the  spring  of  1872  Dr.  Eells 
resumed  his  pastoral  work,  but  a  year  later  was  compelled  to 
resign,  and  on  June  22,  1873,  he  was  dismissed  from  his  pastor- 
ate. He  went  to  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Oakland, 
California.  He  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  Theology  in  the  San 
Francisco  Theological  Seminary,  the  duties  of  which  position 
he  assumed  in  addition  to  those  of  his  pastorate.  Subse- 
quently he  accepted  the  chair  of  Pastoral  Theology  in  Lane 
Seminary,  at  Cincinnati,  the  duties  of  which  he  discharged  with 
distinguished  ability  until  the  day  of. his  death,  March  7,  1887. 
Dr.  Eells  was  elected  moderator  of  the  General  Assembly  in 
Chicago  in  1877,  and  was  honored  with  many  other  elections  to 
important  duties  by  the  church  at  large.  The  funeral  services  of 
Dr.  Eells  were  held  in  the  Second  Church,  which  he  loved,  and 
his  mortal  remains  lie  in  beatiful  Lake  \"iew  Cemetery. 

Some  time  before  Dr.  Eells  severed  his  relations  with  the 
Second  Church  he  corresponded,  with  the  concurrence  of  the 
Session,  with  certain  of  his  ministerial  friends,  with  a  view  of 
finding  a  suitable  successor  for  himself.  The  result  of  this  cor- 
respondence was  a  unanimous  call  from  the  church  to  Rev. 
Charles  S.  Pomeroy,  then  pastor  of  the  Ross  Street  Presbyterian 
Church,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.  On  June  22,  1873,  the  very  day 
when  Dr.  Eells  preached  his  farewell  sermon,  Mr.  Pomeroy  was 
installed  as  pastor.  Dr.  Pomeroy  came  in  the  full  vigor  of  his 
manhood.  Trained  in  the  ministry  of  the  chuich,  of  ripe  ex- 
perience, a  facile  and  vigorous  writer,  an  orator  of  ability,  and  an

accomplished  scholar,  he  secured  from  the  first  the  affection  of 
the  people. 

About   four   o'clock  on    the  morning  of  Monday,  October  g, 
1876,  the   church   edifice    took  fire  from  a  cinder  brought  by  the 
wind  from  a  fire  in  a  distant  part  of  the  city,  and  in  a   few   hours 
all  but  the  lecture  room  was  in  ashes.     Arrangements  were  made 
for  services  on  the  Sabbath  in  the  Opera  House,  and  then  in  Case 
Hall.     So  large  a  number  of  the   members   of  the   congregation 
had   moved    to  the  eastern  part  of  the  city  since  the  construction 
of  the  burned  church  that  it  was  decided  to  sell  the  lot  on  which 
it  had  stood,  and  build  a  new  church  farther  up  town.     A  com- 
modious lot  was  therefore  purchased  on  the  northwest  corner   of 
Prospect  street  and  Sterling  avenue,  and  energetic  efforts  were  at 
once  made  to  erect  upon  it  a  new  edifice. 
This   was   completed   in  the  autumn  of 
1878,  and  was  dedicated  on    October  27, 
of  that  year.     For  twenty-one  years  Dr. 
Pomeroy    ministered     to     the     Second 
Church.    During  that  time  1,081  persons 
were  added  to  the  church,  making  a   net 
gain  of  386    during  his  pastorate.     The 
semi-centennial  exercises  of  this   church 
were  celebrated  from  June   10-13,   1894. 
After   this  happy  occasion  Dr.  Pomeroy 

took    his   customary    vacation,  but    upon      Rev.  Charles   S.  Pomeroy,  D.D. 

his   return,   after  a  few  days  illness,   he 

died,  September  10,  1894.  His  death  was  a  great  blow,  not  only 
to  the  church  he  had  so  long  served,  but  to  the  whole  city,  and  to 
the  church  at  large,  in  the  ranks  of  whose  ministry  he  was  well 
known.  The  pulpit  was  vacant  for  some  months,  but  finally  a 
most  fortunate  and  happy  selection  of  a  pastor  was  made  in  the 
call  of  Dr.  Paul  F.  Sutphen,  formerly  pastor  of  the  Woodland 
Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  but  at  the  time  of  the  call,  pastor 
of  the  Oxford  Presbyterian  Church,  Philadelphia.  Dr.  Sutphen 
has  a  host  of  friends  to  welcome  his  return  to  Cleveland,  and 
under  his  ministration  the  past  power  of  this  strong  church  will 
be  increasingly  perpetuated.

euclia  Avenue  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


OWING  to  the  overcrowded  condition  of  the  old  First  Church, 
the  Euclid  Street,  now  the  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church,  was  organized  in  the  spirit  of  good  will,  with  thirteen 
charter  members  from  the  mother  church,  among  whom  was  the 
veteran  Elisha  Taylor,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  First  Church. 
On  November  15,  1851,  a  subscription  was  started  for  the  purpose 
of  purchasing  a  lot,  or  building  a  church,  or  both.     By  the  9th  of 


122 


HISTORY   OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 


December,  1851,  $10,000  was  subscribed,  and  the  27th  of  the 
same  month  a  building  committee  was  appointed,  consisting  of 
Messrs.  Elisha  Taylor,  William  D.  Beattie,  William  Slade,  Jr., 
John  M.  Woolsey  and  Jonathan  Gillett,  to  whom,  in  the  sum- 
mer of  1853,  Messrs.  Zalmon  Fitch  and  Joseph  Perkins  were 
added.  The  present  site  having  been  chosen,  it  was  pur- 
chased of  John  M.  Woolsey  for  $4,500  in  deferred  payments. 
A  plan  proposed  by  J.  J.  Husband  of  Cincinnati  was  adopted, 
and  the  erection  of  a  church  edifice  was  begun  in  the  summer 
of   1852,    the   corner-stone    being   laid  in  August   of  that  year. 

The  church  was  duly  organ- 
ized January  25,  1853,  ^^  a 
meeting  held  in  the  lecture  room 
of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church, 
Dr.  Aiken  presiding,  assisted 
by  Rev.  S.  B.  Canfield  of  the 
Second  Presbyterian  Church. 
Thirteen  persons  were  received 
into  membership,  all  by  letters 
from  the  First  Church.  The 
"Confession  of  Faith,  Discipline 
and  Government  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  of  the  United 
States"  was  adopted,  "except  that 
the  elders  and  deacons  of  said 
church  shall  hold  office  for  only 
three  years." 

February  i,  1853,  ^  society  was  organized  under  the  name 
of  "  The  Euclid  Street  Presbyterian  Church  and  Society  of 
Cleveland."  The  following  officers  were  elected:  President, 
Zalmon  Fitch;  Trustees,  George  Worthington,  F.  S.  Slosson, 
Elisha  Taylor;  Clerk,  Wm.  Slade,  Jr.  During  the  year  1880  the 
corporate  name  was  changed  to  ' '  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church  and  Society  of  Cleveland." 

The  lecture  room  was  first  opened  for  public  worship  May 
29,  i853>  when  a  sermon  was  preached  by  Rev.  E.  N.  W.  Saw- 
tell,  who  acted  as  stated  supply  until  the  arrival  of  the  first 
pastor,  the  Rev.  Joseph  B.  Bittinger,  who  had  been  professor  in 
Middlebury   College,    Vt.     The   call,    issued    May  9,    1853,  was

Rev.  Joseph  B.  Bittinger,  D.D. 


accepted  b\^  him,  and   the    iSth  of  the  following   September  he 
began    his   labors  by  preaching  in  the  lecture  room.     His  first 
sermon    in    the    church    was    April     9, 
1854,  and  on  the  26th  of  that  month  he 
was  installed  as  pastor. 

The  first  Sunday-school  was  organ- 
ized June  12,  1853.  William  Slade, 
Jr.,  was  chosen  Superintendent  for 
one  year,  when  he  was  succeeded  by 
Joseph  Perkins,  who  served  as  Super- 
intendent until  he  died  in  18S5.  The 
first  Board  of  Elders,  consisting  of 
Messrs.  Elisha  Taylor  and  Zalmon  Fitch, 
was  elected  February  1 ,  1854.  ThelyOrd's 
Supper  was  first  administered  in  the 
church    the  21st  of  the  following  May. 

Messrs.   Augustus    Fuller  and  Joseph  Perkins  were  elected  July 
5tli  of  the  same  year,  as  the  first  Deacons  of  the  church. 

Dr.  F.  S.  Slosson  was  the  first  Chorister,  and  for  six  years 
maintained  a  large  voluntary  choir,  which  furnished  most 
valuable  aid  to  the  Sabbath  services. 

The  1 6th  of  October,  1862,  the  pastoral  relation  between 
Rev.  Mr.  Bittinger  and  the  church  was  dissolved.  For  months 
prior  to  the  event  his  ill-health  had  prevented  him  from  taking 
any  part  in  the  care  of  the  church,  and  for 
more  than  a  year  Dr.  Aiken  discharged 
the  duties  of  temporary  pastor. 

February   8,    1863,    Rev.    John    Mon- 

teith,  of  Jackson,  Mich.,  was  called    to   the 

pastorate,    and    the    loth  of  June,  of    that 

year,  he  was  installed.     This  relation    was 

dissolved  October  2,  1866.

19th  of  the  following  May  he  was  installed.     He    continued    as 

pastor   of  the   church    until  his  death,  which  occurred  suddenlv 


Rev.  Osman  A.  Lyman,  D.D. 


124  HISTORY   OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

January    19,    1872,  causing  most  profound  grief,  not  only  in  his 
church,  but  in  the  entire  community. 

February  18,  1873,  a  call  was  extended  to  Rev.  Charles  H. 
Baldwin,  of  Jamestown,  N.  Y.  He  was  installed  April  20, 
1873,  and  continued  as  pastor  until  the  following  December, 
when,  upon  his  own  request,  the  relation  was  dissolved  bj' 
Presbyter}'. 

October  26,  1874,  a  call  was  given  to  Rev.  W.  H.  Jeffers, 
D.D.,  Professor  of  Greek  and  Hebrew  in  Wooster  University. 
He  was  installed  May  9,  1875,  and  his  pastoral  relation  con- 
tinued until  June  4,  1877,  when  it  was  dissolved  by  Presby- 
tery, that  he  might  accept  a  call  to  a  Professorship  in  the  West- 
ern Theological  Seminary  at  Alle- 
gheny City,  Pa. 

Rev.  J.  L.  Robertson  was  called 
October  15,  1877,  and  was  installed 
the  26th  of  the  following  December. 
Mr.  Robertson  served  until  Novem- 
ber 13,  1 88 1. 

After  being  nearly  a  year  without 
a  pastor  a  call  was  extended  to  Rev. 
Wm.  V.  W.  Davis,  of  Manchester,  N. 
H.,  August  14,  1882,  and  he  was  in- 
stalled the  19th  of  November  of  the 
Rev.  W.  H.  Jeffers,  D.D.  same  year.     By   an  urgent  call  from 

another  field  Mr.  Davis  was  induced  to  resign  the  pastorate,  his 
resignation  taking  effect  April  15,  1887. 

The  present  pastor,  Rev.  Samuel  P.  Sprecher,  D.D.,  was 
called  from  his  work  in  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  March  14,  1887, 
and  was  installed  May  29th.  The  first  pastor  of  this  church 
was  one  of  the  most  notable  men  in  the  ministry  of  Cleveland, 
and  probably  the  best  Bible  student  the  city  has  ever  had,  and 
looking  over  the  list  of  pastors  one  recognizes  in  each  character- 
istic traits  of  strength  and  usefulness. 

During  these  forty-three  years  there  have  been  frequent 
enlargements,  even  the  rebuilding  of  portions  of  the  church. 
The  original  subscription  for  the  purchase  of  a  lot,  and  the  erec- 
tion of  a  house  of  worship  was  ^10,650.  The  first  cost,  however, 
was  $60,750.     The  raising  of  this  sum  greatly  taxed  the  financial

Rev.  J.  L.  Robertson. 


Strength  of  the  church,  and   it  was  not  until  the  spring   of   1871 
that,  through  the  effort  of  Dr.  lyyman,  the  last  indebtedness  for 

$10,000  was  cancelled.  In  1862,  the 
lecture  room  was  enlarged  through  funds 
raised  by  the  Sunday-school.  Three 
rooms  were  added  on  the  east  side,  and 
the  vestibule  on  the  north.  In  March, 
1864,  the  organ  was  completed  and 
placed  in  the  church,  at  a  cost  of  $4,000. 
During  the  summer  of  1868  the  steeple 
was  completed,  and  many  repairs  were 
made.  Thus  from  time  to  time  changes 
were  made  in  the  interior  until,  during 
the  summer  of  1883,  the  most  extensive 
repairs  were  made,  which  closed  the 
audience  room  for  nine  months.  The 
w^alls  were  beautifully  frescoed,  and  new  windows  were  put  in. 
Especial  mention  should  be  made  of  the  beautiful  central  window, 
on  the  west  side  of  the  church,  which  was  imported  from  Europe 
and  presented  to  the  church  in  memor}-  of  the  late  George 
Worthington,  by  the  family.  This  extensive  repair  involved  an 
outlay  of  over  $15,000,  which  was  all  raised  within  the  church. 
The  beautiful  parsonage  and  lot  on  Euclid  avenue,  the 
crowning  gift  to  the  church  by  Elder  Joseph  Perkins  before  his 
decease,  makes  a  very  valuable  addi- 
tion to  the  church  property,  besides 
furnishing  an  attractive  and  central 
home  for  the  pastor  of  the  church.  In 
the  summer  of  1S91  the  old  chapel, 
which  had  been  too  small  for  the 
growing  needs  of  the  church,  was 
torn  down,  and  a  much  larger,  more 
commodious  and  modern  building  was 
erected  on  the  site,  at  a  cost  of  about 
$15,000.  The  corner-stone  of  this 
building  was  laid  in  September,  1891, 

and  the  dedication  of  the  finished  work  ^^'-  ^-  ^'  ^-  ^^''^'  ^■°- 

was  in  the  fore  part  of  January,  1892.      Miss  Anne  Walworth  has 
recentl}'  provided  an  endowment  for  this  church   in    the  sum   of 


126  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

^100,000.  The  Walworth  family  has  been  connected  with  the 
church  from  its  organization,  and  this  Hberal  endowment  is  given 
as  a  family  memorial. 

The  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  is  rapidly  beginning 
to  occupy  a  position  similar  to  that  of  the  Old  Stone  Church.  The 
trend  of  resident  population  eastward,  and  the  advance  of  busi- 
ness blocks  in  the  same  direction,  are  making  this  organization  a 
down-town  church.  Opportunity  for  institutional  work  opens, 
and  with  the  generous  endowment  already  given,  there  is  a 
bright  prospect  for  aggressive  Christian  work,  under  the  able 
leadership  of  Dr.  Sprecher,  who  is  one  of  the  most  versatile  and 
popular  ministers  in  Cleveland.

me$t!tiin$ter  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


IN  March,  1853,  the  "  Executive  Committee"  of  the  Old  School 
Presbyterian  Church  sent  Rev.  Frederick  T.  Brown  to  Cleve- 
land to  inquire  into  the  practicability  of  organizing  a  church  of 
that  type.  The  report  being  favorable, 
Mr.  Brown  gathered  twenty-six  mem- 
bers, and  organized  a  church  January  i , 
1854.  At  first  the  meetings  were  held  in 
Temperance  Hall  on  Ontario  street;  then 
Mr.  Brown  bought  the  old  "  Round 
Church,"  formerly  occupied  by  the  Mil- 
lerites,  corner  of  Wood  and  Theresa 
streets.  Here  for  several  years  Mr. 
Brown,  an  able  man,  and  one  devotedly 
earnest  in  his  work,  ministered  in  an  ac- 
Rev.  Frederick  T.  Brown,  D.D.  ceptable  manner,  drawing  his  congrega- 
tion from  all  denominations.  Upon  a  list  of  subscribers  to  a  fund 
for  the  building  of  a  new  church,  and  subscription  to  Mr.  Brown's 
salary,  are  found  the  names  of   some  of  the  most  prominent  men 


WESTMINSTER    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH.

in  the  city  at  that  time.  The  church  was  incorporated  as  "  West- 
minster "  (Old  School  Presbyterian)  Church,  of  Cleveland,  De- 
cember 12,  1855,  and  Charles  Hickox,  James  Mason,  Alexander 
Mcintosh  and  John  Cary  were  elected  Trustees,  and  E.  J.  Estep, 
Clerk. 

A  house  of  worship  was  erected  at  the  corner  of  Prospect 
and  Huntington  streets  in  1858,  and  Mr. 
Brown  continued  his  ministrations  until 
during  the  war  in   1861,  when  he  left  the 
work  temporarily  to  accept  the  Chaplain- 
ship  of  the  Seventh  Ohio  Regiment,  and 
went  through  the  campaign  in  West  Vir- 
ginia.    On  his  return,  owing  to  the  hard 
war  times,  and  the  difficulty  of  raising 
mone}^    to    pay    the    church    debt,    Mr. 
Brown     resigned,  and  was  succeeded  by 
Rev.   Moses  A.  Hoge,  who  labored  until 
Rev.  Moses  A.  Hoge,  D.D.     September  lo,  1865.     In  April,  1866,  the 
Rev.  S.  P.  I^ynn  was  called.     He  served  the  church  until  April, 
1867,  and  was  succeeded   by  Rev.  V.  A.  lycwis,  whose  pastorate 
ceased  in  the  early  part  of  1869. 

On  the  first  Sabbath  of  April,  1870,  the  Rev.  E.  B.  Raffen- 
sperger  took  charge  of  the  church.  He  was  installed  April  16, 
1 87 1.  The  Old  and  the  New  School  Presbyterian  Churches 
having  united,  an  effort  was  made  by  the  Cleveland  Presbytery 
to  strengthen  this  enterprise.  For  a  time,  with  the  hearty  co- 
operation of  the  Presbyterian  Union, 
the  church  increased  in  strength,  but 
many  of  its  members  having  moved  near 
the  new  Memorial,  now  Case  Avenue 
Presbyterian  Church,  and  the  church 
occupying  the  same  field  as  that  of  the 
Euclid  Avenue  Church,  Mr.  Raffensper- 
ger  finding  the  existence  of  a  debt,  of 
which  he  was  not  aware  when  he  was  in- 
stalled, resigned,  and  closed  his  labors 
March  30,  1873. 

April    20,  1874,  Rev.  James    A.  Skin-  Rev,  S.  P.  Lynn.

was  disbanded,  b}-  order  of  Presbyter}',  and  the  property  was  sold 
to  pay  the  existing  debts.  The  building  passed  into  the  posses- 
sion of  the  Methodist  Church.  It  was  moved  to  the  present  site 
of  the  Epworth  Memorial  M.  E.  Church,  where  it  was  used  until 
the  present  structure  was  erected. 


north  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


AT  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  Aiken,  pastor  of  the  First  Church, 
a  Sunday-school  was  started  in  1S59  on  the  north  side  of 
St.  Clair  street  near  Lyman  street.  Charles  W.  Xoble,  Esq.,  was 
its  first  superintendent.  At  that  time  the  community  was  called 
Wasonville.  a  name  taken  from  the  car  shops  owned  by  Charles 
Wason. 

In  i860  the  school  moved  to  the  south  side  of  St.  Clair  street, 
to  a  place  now  owned  by  the  Lake  Shore  Welsh  Church  Society. 
Here  the  school  continued  until  it  entered  a  church,  erected  on 
Aaron  street  in  the  spring  of  1867.  This  was  its  abiding  place 
for  a  period  of  twenty  years,  until  it  entered  the  present  building 
on  the  corner  of  Case  avenue  and  Superior  street.

Rev.  William  Gaston,  D.D. 


During  this  time  the  school  had  six  superintendents,  as  fol- 
lows:  Charles  W.  Noble,  Esq.,  from  1859  to  1864;  Hon.  T.  D. 
Crocker,  1864  to  1872;  Henry  Nash,  1872  to  1873;  T.D.Crocker 

again,  1873  to  1874;  H.  S. 
Davis,  1874  to  1875;  W.  B. 
Porter,  1875  to  1876;  h-  J. 
Talbot,  1876  to  1879. 

In  1879,  Mr.  S.  P.  Fenn 
was  elected  superintendent, 
and  for  almost  seventeen  years 
he  has  been  the  greatly  be- 
loved and  remarkably  success- 
ful superintendent  of  this 
school,  which  for  many  years 
has  been  one  of  the  largest  in 
Cleveland.  The  number  now 
on  the  roll  is  somewhat  over 
1200. 

As  early  as  1866,  regular 

preaching  services  began  at  the  mission,  with  Rev.  Aaron  Peck 

as  supply  for  one  year.     Rev.  B.  P.  Johnson  supplied  from  1867 

to  1868;   Rev.  D.  W.  Sharts,  from  1868  to  1870. 

Rev.  Dr.  Goodrich,  and  Elders  R.  F.  Smith  and  George  H. 

Ely,  by  order  of  Presbytery,  organized  the  church  September  19, 

1870.     The  church  started  with  fifty-one  members,  all  of  whom 

brought    their    letters    from    the    First 

Church.      James  Geekie   was   made   its 

first  ruling  elder.      Dr.  Goodrich  named 

the  organization  the  North  Church,  after 

the  old  North    Church  in  Boston.     Rev. 

Anson  Smyth,  D.  D.,  was  called  as  the 

first  pastor  of  the  church.     He  remained 

two  years,  but  was  never  installed.     He 

was    an    excellent    preacher,    a   tender- 
hearted  and  kind  man,   and  a  successful 

worker.     Dr.  Smyth  was  succeeded  by 

Rev.    H.   R.    Hoisington,    who   was   in- 
stalled, as   pastor,  June    2,    1872.       Mr. 

Hoisington  was  a  man  of  fine  Christian

character,  who  had  the  affection  of  the  congregation,   laboring 
diligently  and  faithfully  until  July  11,  1880. 

Dr.  William  Gaston,  the  present  pastor,  began  his  work  in 
this  field  November  i,  1880,  and  under  his  wise  executive,  and 
indefatigable  pastoral  abilit}',  the  North  Church  has  greatly  pros- 
pered. Almost  eighteen  hundred  persons  have  been  received 
into  membership  in  this  church,  of  which  number  one-half  have 
been  added  since  the  present  church  building  was  erected,  eight 
years  ago.  In  addition  to  the  help  of  the  ordinary  membership 
in   the  past   six   years,    the  pastor   has  had  valuable  assistants, 

namely.  Miss  M.  J.  Weaver  for  nearly 
three  years,  Rev.  Charles  L,.  Chalfant 
for  a  few  months,  and  Miss  Anna  C. 
Stevens  for  nearly  two  years.  One  of 
the  most  powerful  agencies  for  growth  in 
this  church  has  been  the  Christian  En- 
deavor Society,  or  Societies,  for  there  are 
three  of  these  organizations,  which  have 
called  out  a  wealth  of  talent  among  the 
young  people  who  are  coming  into  the 
church. 

Two  Sunday-schools  have  been 
Rev.  H.  R,  Hoisington.  started  by  the  North  Church,  and  have 
grown  into  promising  churches.  The 
Madison  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church  is  the  result  of  a  mission 
started  on  Becker  avenue,  and  the  second  mission  was  organized  in 
an  unoccupied  school  house  in  Glenville  July  3,  1893.  This  has 
grown  into  the  Glenville  Presbyterian  Church. 

The  lot,  corner  of  Case  avenue  and  Superior  street,  which  the 
present  North  Church  occupies,  was  purchased  by  the  congrega- 
tion at  a  cost  of  $10,000.  The  congregation  purchased  the  organ, 
also,  at  an  expense  of  $2,700,  but  the  building,  which  cost  about 
$27,000,  was  erected  by  the  First  Church  with  a  little  help  from 
other  churches.  This  building,  admirably  adapted  for  Sunday- 
.school  work,  was  dedicated  October  23,  1887.  During  the  past 
3'-ear,  the  church  has  been  renovated  at  an  expense  of  $1,300. 
The  congregations  are  large,  especially  at  the  evening  service, 
and  a  large  annual  ingathering  of  souls  is  not  an  exceptional 
experience,  but  the  rule.

Case  Jfvenue  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


THE  project  of  a  new  Presbyterian  church,  in  the  vicinity  of 
Case  avenue,  had  its  rise  among  the  members  of  the  Euclid 
Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  under  the  pastorate  of  Dr.  Lyman. 
It  was  deemed  advisable  to  occupy  the  field 
in  advance  by  the  establishment  of  a  Sunday- 
school.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Donley  Hobart  having 
obtained  pledges  enough  to  secure  the  regular 
attendance  of  a  sufficient  number  of  children 
to  warrant  the  undertaking,  two  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Euclid  Avenue  Church,  Elders 
Truman  Hastings  and  Dr.  F.  S.  Slosson,  were 
appointed  a  committee  to  organize  the  school,  and  to  superintend 
its  progress.     On  the  first  Sabbath  of  November,  1867,  in  a  small

brick  grocery,  the  school  was  organized.  The  weather  being 
inclement,  there  was  a  small  gathering  of  eight  teachers  and  four- 
teen scholars.  With  Mr.  Hastings,  as  superintendent,  were  the 
following  teachers:  J.  D.  Crehore,  Donley  Hobart,  Mrs.  Donley 
Hobart,  Mrs.  T.  Hastings,  Fred  Whittlesey,  Mrs.  Fred  Whittle- 
sey and  Mrs.  Louisa  J.  Patterson.  The  original  roll  of  scholars 
was  Newton  B.  Hobart,  Clara  Hobart,  Ella  Hobart,  John  B. 
Hobart,  Herbert  L,oomis,  Howard  Looniis,  Helen  Patterson, 
Adelaide  Patterson,  Wallace  W.  Ludlow,  Arthur  C  Ludlow, 
Nelly  Taber,  Charles  Diepold,  Charles  R.  Chandler  and  Louise 
Chandler.     Of  this   number   of   scholars,  John    B.    Hobart   and 

Arthur  C.  Ludlow  are  Presby- 
terian clergymen;  Miss  Clara 
Hobart  is  the  wife  of  Rev.  H. 
A.  Schauffier,  D.  D  ,  and  Miss 
Ella  Hobart  is  a  city  mission- 
ary, engaged  in  the  Congre- 
gational work  among  the  Poles 
of  Cleveland.  The  second 
Sunday  over  forty  scholars 
were  present.  Truman  Hast- 
ings, William  G.  Williams  and 
J.  B.  Meriam  were  the  super- 
intendents of  the  school,  while 
it  was  a  mission  of  the  Euclid 
Avenue  Church.  With  an 
increase  of  scholars,  the  school 
removed  from  Ford's  grocery,  at  the  southeastern  corner  of  Case 
and  Cedar  avenues,  to  an  unfinished  dwelling  on  Case  avenue. 
Early  in  1868,  a  subscription  was  opened  among  the  members  of 
the  Euclid  Avenue  Church,  payable  to  Truman  Hastings,  H.  R. 
Hatch,  and  George  L-  Ingersoll,  in  trust  for  the  purchase  or  lease 
of  a  suitable  lot,  and  for  the  erection  of  a  chapel  thereon,  with  a 
condition  that  the  property  should  ultimately  be  conveyed  to  a 
new  Presbyterian  church,  which  it  was  supposed  would  be  organ- 
ized in  that  neighborhood.  The  amount  subscribed  was  about 
$2,000.  With  this  a  lot  was  purchased  on  Sibley  street  near  Case 
avenue,  and  on  this  lot  a  wooden  chapel  was  erected.  Simul- 
taneously   with  the    starting  of   this  Sunday-school,   a    weekly

prayer-meeting  was  established,  which  was  merged  in  time  into 
the  prayer-meeting  of  the  chnrch  that  grew  out  of  the  school. 

At   a   meeting   of   the    Presbyterian 
Union  held  January  10,  1870,  this  enter- 
prise received  hearty  endorsement,  and 
with   the  moral   support   of  the  Union, 
%^^k     ^  Rev.     James    A.     vSkinner,       the     third 

^^^  Sabbath   of  January,    1870,   commenced 

J^^n    '^  holding  Sabbath  evening  services  in  the 

^^^^^B/bK^^^^^^    chapel,  and   the  first   Sabbath  of  April, 
^^^^^^T^       ^^^^^m     1870,  Mr.  Skinner  began  to  hold  morn- 
^^^^^^k      ^^^^r        ing    and    evening   services.      The    first 
^^^1^  ^^^  Sabbath  of  September,  1870,  at  the  close 

Rev.  James  A.  Skinner.  of  the  morning  service,  a  committee  con- 

sisting of  Messrs.  Hastings,  Taber,  Preston,  Van  Tine,  Hopkins, 
Hobart,  Pierce,  Walter,  and  Betts,  was  appointed  to  request  the 
Presbytery  to  appoint  a  commission  to  make  the  necessary  inves- 
tigations,   as  the   way  seemed   clear  to  organize  a  Presbyterian 
church.     On  the  second  day  of  October,  1870,  the  commission  of 
Presb5'ter3^  met  in  the  chapel,  and  in  the  presence  of  a  large  con- 
gregation   proceeded   to   organized   the    Memorial    Presbyterian 
Church,    with  thirty-four  charter  members.       The  first   Elders 
were  Trnman  Hastings,  Thomas  Taber,  and  Dr.  John  C.  Preston. 
Mr.  Donley  Hobart  was  elected  Deacon,   and  the  services  were 
concluded  by  the  administration  of  the 
Lord's  Supper.       Sunday,    November  6, 
1870,  the  Case  Avenue  Mission  Sunday- 
school  was  formally  surrendered  to  the 
care  of  the  session  of  the  Memorial  Pres- 
byterian Church.     From  the  beginning, 
this  enterprise  received  the  sympathy  and 
most  liberal  support  of  the  members  of 
the  mother  church.     The  wooden  chapel 
was  soon  outgrown,  and  the  lot  on  the 
corner  of  Case  and  Cedar  avenues  was 
purchased,  and  in  1872  the  brick  chapel 

was  built  and  occupied.  Mr.  Skinner  Rev.  Francis  A.  Horton,  D.D. 
continued  to  labor  in  connection  with  this  church,  as  stated  sup- 
ply, until  some  time  in  December,  1873.     During  his  ministry 


154  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

the  church  increased  in  strength  and  numbers.     December  22, 
1872,  the    church    issued    its    first    pastoral    call,   sending    the 
^p,.,,  same  to   Rev.   Francis  A.  Horton,  then 

J/^^Sbr  .,^*  pastor  of  the  Reformed  Church,  of  Cats- 

■  M  kill,  N.   Y.      Mr.   Horton    accepted  the 

'  -^    -w^  call,  and  began  his  labors  on  the  second 

Sabbath  of  February,  1874,  and  was  in- 
-><i<^^  stalled  March  22,  following.     Mr.  Hor- 

ton's  pastorate  continued  to  March  25, 
1883.      During   the   years    1880-81,    the 

'^  y\ present  church  edifice  was  built,  and  was 

dedicated   July    3,    188 1.      Mr.     Horton 
'  - ,     ,,-^'  went  from  the  Case  Avenue  Church  (for 

the  name  was  changed  from  Memorial  to 
Rev.  Rollo  Ogden,  ^  .  ^       ,  .  _,  ,       . 

Case    Avenue    Presbyterian    Church    m 

1878),  to  Oakland,  California.     The  greater  part  of  Mr.  Horton's 
pastorate  was  in  the  brick  chapel,  but  he  labored  to  see  what 
might   have  come  earlier,  had  it  not  been  for  the  panic  in  the 
early  seventies,  a  new  church  building,  and  a  prosperous  congre- 
gation.    Rev.  Rollo  Ogden,  who  had  been  an  associate  pastor  of 
the  First  Church,  but  who  had  more  recently  labored  in  Mexico, 
had  returned  to  Cleveland,  on  account  of  the  critical  illness  of  his 
wife,  a  daughter  of  Dr.  Arthur  Mitchell,  about  the  time  Mr.  Hor- 
ton departed.     He  was  called  to  the  Case  Avenue  Church,  and 
was  installed  April  29,  1883.     He  was  a 
man  of  high  talent,  but  left  the  ministry 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  April  i,  1887. 
He   has  since  been  engaged  in  hterary 
work,  and  at  present  is  connected  with  a 
New    York   paper.       The    church   then 
called  Rev.  P.  E.  Kipp,  who  was  installed 
July  5,  1887.    Mr.  Kipp,  like  Dr.  Horton, 
came  from  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church 
of  New  York  State.     Mr.  Kipp  labored 
in  this  church  until  November  15,  1894, 

when,    on    account    of  the    ill-health  of 

11    ,    ^  1  Rev.  P.  E.  Kipp. 

Mrs.  Kipp,  he  was  compelled  to   seek   a 

milder  climate.     He  accepted  a  call  to    the  Presbyterian   Church 

at   San   Diego,    California,  where  he  is  at   present  laboring  sue-

called  from  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  was  installed  May  7,  1895.  He 
is  thus  in  the  beginning  of  his  labors  in  this  field,  which  has  been 
weakened  somewhat  in  recent  years  by  the  tide  of  population 
eastward,  and  the  establishment  of  many  churches  in  the  vicinity, 
but  the  field  is  one  which  may  yet,  with  vigorous,  consecrated 
work,  yield  rich  fruitage.

lUoodlana  Avenue  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


IN  1855  the  Mayflower  Sunday-school,  which  had  been  organ- 
ized two  years  before,  was  adopted  as  a  Mission  of  the  Second 
Presb3^terian  Church,  and  a  building  was  erected  on  a  lot,  given 
by  Mr.  Joseph  Perkins  of  the  Euclid  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church.  Messrs.  T.  P.  Handy,  T.  Dwight,  Dan  P.  Eells,  and  C. 
J.  Dockstader,  were  successively  Superintendents.  Reverends 
Little  and  Day  preached,  and  otherwise  fostered  this  work,  which 
issued  at  last  in  the  formation  of  the  Woodland  Avenue  Presby- 
terian Church.  The  first  effectual  step  toward  the  organization 
of  this  church  w^as  taken  at  a  small  meeting  held  in  the  autumn  of 
1870,  at  the  Willson  School-house.  A  committee  was  appointed 
to  act  with  the  Presbyterian  Union  in  raising  money.  If  this 
committee  should  be  successful  it  was  authorized  to  procure  a  site, 
and  to  proceed  to  the  erection  of  a  chapel.  Generous  friends  re- 
sponded promptly  and  liberally  to  the  call,   and  the  lot  was  pur-

chased,  and  the  work  on  the  building  commenced  the  next  sum- 
mer.    The  lower  room  was  ready  for  occupancy  early  in  April, 

1872,  and  the  chapel  was  com- 
pleted in  Ma}^,  the  total  cost 
being  over  $27,000.  The  first 
available  funds  that  came  into 
the  hands  of  this  committee 
consisted  of  a  legacy  of  $1,000, 
left  for  this  purpose  by  Mrs. 
Sarah  C.  Adams,  for  twenty 
years  a  missionary  among  the 
Zulus  at  Port  Natal,  South 
Africa.  The  societ}'  was  or- 
ganized at  the  Cleveland 
Protestant  Orphan  Asylum, 
at  the  corner  of  Woodland  and 
Willson  avenues,  on  the  i8th 
of  January,  1872.  Early  in 
April  a  Sabbath-school  was 
formed,  and  the  Mayflower  Mission  School  was  turned  over  to  its 
care.  The  church  was  organized  April  18,  1872,  with  fifty-four 
members.  Of  these  twenty-eight  were  from  Presbyterian  church- 
es, chiefly  from  the  Second  Church,  and  twenty-three  were  from 
Congregational  churches,  chiefly  from 
Plymouth  Church.  Three  persons  united 
upon  confession  of  faith. 

The  first  pastor.  Rev.  E.  P.  Gardner, 
was  installed  June  30th,  1872.  He  was 
well  fitted  for  the  work  of  laying  the 
foundation  of  the  church.  His  deep  piety 
and  fervent  zeal  for  the  Master  soon 
permeated  the  whole  church,  and  during 
the  four  years  pastorate  there  were  added 
to  the  church,  from  congregation  and 
from  Sunday-school,  246  members.  In 
the  spring  of  1876  Mr.  Gardner's  health  Rev.  E.  P.  Gardner. 

failed,  and  he  did  not  resume  the  ministry  for  several  years.  He 
is,  at  present,  pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Chatham, 
New  Jersey.

The  second  pastor,  Rev.  S.  Leroy  Blake,  D.D.,  was  called 
from  Concord,  N.  H.,  and  installed  December  12,  1877.  Mr. 
Blake  remained  pastor  until  March,  1880.  His  genial  manner, 
earnest  appeals  and  activity  in  the  work  soon  won  the  favor  of 

the  congregation,  and  during  his  pas- 
torate, under  the  blessing  of  the  Spirit, 
252  were  added  to  the  church  on  con- 
fession of  faith,  and  104  by  letter.  At 
present  Dr.  Blake  is  pastor  of  a  Con- 
gregational church  at  New  London, 
Conn. 

The  third  pastor.  Rev.  George  I,. 
Spining,  D.D.,  was  called  from 
Kalamazoo,  Mich.,  and  was  installed 
June  16,  1 88 1.  His  earnest  and  elo- 
quent presentation  of  the  gospel  was 
Rev.  S.  Leroy  Blake.  D.D.  blessed  by  the  addition  of  316  mem-

bers   to  the  church.     He  resigned  October  2,  1885,  and  is  now 
pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  South  Orange,   N.  J. 

The  fourth  pastor,  Rev.  Paul  F. 
Sutphen,  D.D.,  was  called  in  January, 
1886,  from  the  Third  Presbyterian 
Church  of  Elizabeth,  N.  J.  This 
pastorate  of  seven  years  was  richly 
blessed,  there  being  added  to  the  church 
nearly  1,000  souls.  Rev.  Mr.  Sutphen 
preached  his  last  sermon  December  1 1 , 
1892,  having  accepted  a  call  to  the 
Second  Church  of  Newark,  N.  J.,  and 
after  short  pastorates  in  Newark  and 
Philadelphia,  Mr.  Sutphen  has  returned 
to  Cleveland  as  pastor  of  the  Second. 
Presbyterian  Church,  the  mother  of  the 
Woodland  Avenue  Church. 

Mr.  Sutphen  was  succeeded  in  the  Woodland  Avenue 
Church  by  Rev.  Charles  Townsend,  who  had  been  pastor  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  at  Lansingburgh,  N.  Y.  He  assumed 
charge  of  the  pastorate  the  first  Sunday  of  May,  1893,  and 
was  installed  the  following  Tuesday  evening.  After  a  very 
successful  pastorate  of  two  years,  with  an  addition  of  nearly  200 
to  the  roll,  Mr.  Townsend  accepted  a  call  to  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Orange,  N.  J.  The  church  then  called  the 
Rev.  Robert  G.  Hutchins,  D.D.,  former- 
ly pastor  of  a  church  in  lyos  Angeles, 
he  having  just  returned  from  a  visit  to 
the  Hawaiian  Islands.  He  was  installed 
October  22d,   1895. 

The  Sunday-school  of  this  church 
has  long  been  the  largest  in  Cleveland, 
reaching  one  year  a  membership  of  1623, 
and  adding  to  the  church  in  all  911. 
The  membership  of  the  church  in  twenty 
years  increased  from  fifty-four  to  1141. 
From  the  beginning  1135  have  been  re-  Rev.  Paul  F.  Sutphen,  D.D. 
ceived  on  confession  of  faith,  and  770  by  certificate,  a  total  of 
1905.     It  is  not  surprising  that,  with  a  growth   so  phenomenal.

the   original   chapel    should   have  been     soon    outgrown.     The 
present   church  edifice  was  dedicated   November   17,  1878,  at  a 
cost    of  $26,369.     The    old   Sunday-school 
•    '  c.  building,  or  the  original  chapel,  was  replaced 

^  *•&  A^  by  a   new  one,  large  and  commodious,  at  a 

^Jk||^^  cost  of  $32,447.     The  corner-stone  was  laid 

^^^^K  May  27,  1890,  and  the  building  was  dedi- 

^^yA.  cated  December  28,  1890.     The  records    of 

this  church  are  so  perfectly  kept  that  the 
growth,  year  by  year,  and  a  statement  of  all 
moneys  contributed,  are  instantly  available, 
and  the  grand  total  is  :  For  church  prop- 
erty, $86,025 ;  expenses  of  the  church, 
$141,285  ;  benevolent  account,  $19,748  ; 
for  Sunday-school,  $8,105;  by  Sunday-school,  $9,071;  by 
auxiliary  societies  within  the  church,  $28,809 — a  total  of 
$296,559,  of  which  about  $16,672  was  received  from  without. 
Such  a  record  is  unparalleled.  Although  the  Woodland  Avenue 
Church  has  suffered  somewhat  by  the  eastward  trend  of  popula- 
tion, there  is  a  large  field  of  usefulness  remaining,  and  under 
wise  leadership  this  very  successful  church  will  accomplish  still 
greater  things  for  the  Master.

THE  Willson  Aveuue  Church  had  its  origin  in  a  Union 
Sunday-school  enterprise,  not  many  rods  from  the  spot 
where  the  present  edifice  stands.  A  subscription  paper  having 
been  passed,  a  small  chapel  costing  ^1,350  was  started  in  the 
month  of  February,  1874.  There  were  five  trustees  in  charge  of 
the  enterprise.  Three  were  members  of  the  Disciple  Church,  one 
was  a  Methodist,  and  one  was  a  Presbyterian.  On  the  12th  of 
April  following,  the  new  building  was  occupied  for  the  first  time. 
A  week  from  that  date  Dr.  Gerould  organized  a  Sunday-school, 
ninety-two  persons  being  present.  The  office  of  superintendent, 
however,  soon  passed  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  L.  W.  Bingham,  who 


WILLSON    AVENUE    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH. 


l8l 


Rev.   Arthur  J,    Waugh. 


held  the  position  for  three  years.     During  the  first  year  of  its 
existence  the   Sunday-school   increased  to  about    200   members. 

Services  were  often  held 
in  the  chapel,  and  during  the 
early  part  of  1875  there  was  a 
reviv^al  that  spiritually  (juick- 
ened  the  work,  and  the  at- 
tendance constantly  increased. 
In  the  month  of  March, 
1S77,  the  Second  Presbyterian 
Church  was  attracted  to  the 
field,  purchased  the  property, 
and  carried  on  the  work  under 
Presbyterian  auspices. 

At  the  time  of  this  change 
Mr.  Dan  P.  Eells  became 
superintendent  of  the  school, 
and  continued  to  act  in  this 
capacity  for  six  years.  The 
work  took  a  deep  hold  upon  his  heart,  and  he  continued  to  sacri- 
fice time  and  monej'  for  the  good  of  the  enterprise,  which  greatly 
prospered  under  his  guiding  hand.  There  was  a  large  infant 
class  taught  by  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Beardslee,  who  did  noble  work 
among  the  little  ones  until  the  Lord  called  her  home.  The 
school  constantly  increased  in  attend- 
ance until,  in  1881,  the  enrollment 
was  over  600.  Additions  were  made 
from  time  to  time  to  the  chapel,  which 
became  crowded  to  its  utmost  capacity. 
Preaching  services  began  to  be  held 
quite  regularly,  attracting  people  of 
all  denominations.  Rev.  H.  R.  Hois- 
ington  held  such  services  in  the  fall 
of  1879.  Beginning  with  May,  1880, 
Rev.  H.  J.  Steward  preached  regular- 
ly for  about  five  months,  and  his  la- 
bors were  held  in  high  esteem.  After 
his  departure  Rev.  J.  H.  Laughlin,  who 
has  since  labored  as  a  missionary  in  China, 


Rev.  Carlos  T.  Chester. 


occupied  the  pulpit 


1 82  HISTORY   OF    CLEVELAND   PRESBYTERIANISM. 

for  nearly  nine  months.  He  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  Carlos 
T.  Chester,  who  was  called  from  the  pastorate  of  the  Andrew 
Presbyterian  Church,  of  Minneapolis.  He  entered  upon  his 
labors  the  14th  of  August,  1881.  He  was  given  charge  of  the 
enterprise,  and,  with  the  assistance  of  his  efficient  wife,  the  work 
made  rapid  progress.  Mr.  Chester  had  not  labored  many  months 
before  the  Presbytery  organized  the  little  community  of  believers 
into  a  church.  This  took  place  the  21st  of  March,  1882.  Rev. 
Charles  S.  Pomeroy,  D.D.,  pastor  of  the  Second  Church,  with 
Rev.  J.  A.  Seymour,  acted  as  a  commission  of  the  Presbytery  for 
this  purpose.  This  was  on  a  Wednesday  evening,  and  there  were 
twenty-three  charter  members.  A  week  from  the  following 
Sunday,  however,  twenty-five  more  came 
into  the  church,  so  that  it  practically 
^^  started    with     forty-eight     members.     Mr. 

'  v^  John  A.  Hartness,  Mr.  Samuel  Evison,  and 

,     -        *  Mr.    Charles    H.    Beardslee    were     elected 

elders.  Mr.  Charles  Craigie  was  made  a 
deacon.  The  first  trustees  were  Messrs. 
C.  H.  Beardslee,  S.  Evison,  H.  P.  Eells, 
Dr.  R.  Horton,  T.  R.  Whitehead  and  J.  A. 
Dan  P.  Eells.  Hartness.     Rev.  Mr.  Chester  was  formally 

installed  as  pastor  of  the  church  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Cleveland  May  14,  1882,  his  father-in-law,  Rev. 
Charles  Hawley,  D.D.,  of  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  preaching  the  sermon. 
Mr.  Eells,  being  still  identified  with  the  Siniday-school,  saw 
the  pressing  need  of  a  larger  building.  He  purchased  a  lot  on 
Willson  avenue  at  the  corner  of  Lexington,  and  entered  upon  the 
erection  of  a  church  for  the  rapidly  growing  congregation.  The 
corner-stone  of  the  present  beautiful  structure  was  laid  in  Aug- 
ust, 1883.  Early  in  the  next  3'ear  it  was  ready  for  occupancy, 
and  in  the  spring  of  1S84,  the  whole  property  was  deeded  to  the 
trustees  of  the  church.  The  building  is  of  brick,  with  light  stone 
trimmings,  and  its  cost  was  $30,000.  Thus,  within  two  years, 
the  church  had  attained  a  membership  of  115,  and  found  itself  in 
possession  of  property  worth  $37,000,  all  through  the  generosity 
of  one  man.  Mr.  Chester  continuedas  pastor  of  the  church  until  the 
ist  of  November,  18S9,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  editorial  work 
in   the  office  of  "The  Sunday  School    Times,"    of  Philadelphia.

During  his  pastorate  there  was  a  constant  growth  in  member- 
ship, the  number  of  communicants  at  the  time  of  his  departure 
being  about  235.  During  the  following  interim,  Rev.  E.  Bush- 
nell,  D.D.,  supplied  the  pulpit  for  some  weeks. 

Rev.  Arthur  J.  Waugh,  who  had  been  serving  the  church  at 
Willoughby  for  nearly  ten  years,  was  called  to  the  vacant  pulpit. 
He  began  his  labors  on  the  ist  of  April,  1S90.  During  the  first 
year  sixty-four  were  added  to  the  church,  making  a  net  increase 
of  fifty-five.  Since  that  time  the  large  territory  that  the  church 
controlled  has  become  more  limited,  fifteen  other  churches  having 
been  built  in  the  vicinity.  At  present,  the  membership  is  a  little 
more  than  300.  In  October,  1893,  the  pastor,  with  several  of  his 
helpers,  organized  a  mission  Sunday-school  on  the  corner  of 
Willson  avenue  and  St.  Clair  street.  This  mission  has  prospered, 
and  has  an  enrollment  of  150.

BccKwitb  Tncmorwl  Presbyterian  gburcb. 


MR.  T.  S.  BECKWITH,  for  many  years  an  Elder  of  the  Sec- 
ond Presbyterian  Church,  who  died  March  25,  1876,  made 
by  will  the  following  provisions  for  the  erection  of  a  church,  or 
churches  in  Cleveland,  v,'hich  should  bear  his  name: 

"  I  give  and  bequeath  to  the  Session  of  the  Second  Presbyterian 
Church  (as  agents)  my  Coal  Stock  in  the  Cleveland,  Pittsburgh  &  New 
York  Coal  Co.,  to  be  held  bj-  them  in  trust,  and  the  dividends  to  be  by  them 
re-invested  without  spending  any  of  it  until  the  income  from  it  shall 
amount  to  ten  thousand  dollars,  then  the  said  Session  shall  build  a  church 
with  said  income  of  ten  thousand  dollars,  in  which  the  pews  shall  be 
forever  free  to  all.  The  said  Session  shall  then  engage  a  pastor  to  preach 
in  said  church,  and  shall  pay  his  salary,  or  such  part  of  it  as  the  congrega- 
tion shall  fail  to  pay,  from  the  income  from  the  coal  stock.  The  stock,  or 
the  value  of  it  if  the  Company  should  dissolve,  shall  be  kept  forever  as  a 
fund  to  support  the  pastor  of  said  church,  or  the  pastors  of  the  churches 
hereinafter  described,  and  to  build  said  churches.  The  church  to  be  located 
where  the  Session  think  that  it  will  do  the  most  good,  in  the  city  of  Cleve-

land.  The  church  shall  be  called  the  Beckwith  Church  so  long  as  it  shall 
be  supported  in  whole  or  in  part  by  this  fund.  When  the  church  becomes 
able  to  support  itself  in  whole  or  in  part,  then  the  Session  shall  build 
another  church  at  the  same  cost,  as  soon  as  they  are  able,  with  the  income 
from  the  stock,  and  hire  a  pastor,  as  before.  The  Session  shall  continue 
to  do  so  forever.  And  in  ever}-  instance  the  church  shall  be  called  the 
Beckwith  Church  of  the  street  or  district  in  which  it  stands." 


The  session  of  the  Second  Church  became  an  incorporated 
bod3%  and  accepted  this  trtist.      By  the  summer  of   1883,   a  suf- 
ficient fund  had  accumulated  to  warrant  beginning  work  upon  a 
chapel,  a  lot  on  the  corner  of  Fairmount  and  Deering  streets  hav- 
ing been   purchased  by   Mrs. 
Beckwith  and  deeded  to   the 
session  of  the  Second  Church 
for    this    purpose.       By     the 
close  of  1884  the  chapel  was 
completed,  and  the  Rev,  Mat- 
toon  M.  Curtis,  pastor  of  the 
Reformed   Dutch    Church,   of 
Hastings,  N.  Y. ,  was  invited 
to   take  charge  of  the  work. 
He  accepted,  and  entered  upon 
his   labors   January  11,    1885, 
the  chapel  having  been  opened 
for  its  first  service  the  previous 
Sunday,  the  Rev.  E.  Bushnell, 
D.D.,    treasurer    of    Adelbert 
College,      preaching     in     the

morning,    and   the    Rev.   C.    S. 
Second  Church,  in  the  evening. 


the  first  Sunday  that  the  chapel  was  opened,  and  has  since  been 
maintained  without  interruption.  June  17,  1885,  Beckwith 
Presbyterian  Church  was  organized  with  twenty-three  members. 
The  Rev.  Mattoon  M.  Curtis  was  elected  and  installed  as  pastor, 
with  Frederic  A.  Kendall  as  elder,  and  Elton  G.  Norris  as 
deacon.  The  sermon  was  preached  by  Dr.  C.  S.  Pomeroy.  The 
charge  to  the  pastor  was  given  by  Dr.  Wilton  Merle  Smith,  and 
to  the  people  by  Dr.  E.  Btishnell.  The  pastoral  relation  thus 
formed  was  continued  until  April  i,  1888,  when  it  was  dissolved

at  the  request  of  Mr.  Curtis,  that  he  might  study  and  travel 
abroad.  His  pastorate  had  been  so  signally  blessed  in  the  build- 
ing up  of  the  church,  and  so  completel5"  had  he  won  the  love  and 
esteem  of  all,  that  Ids  resignation  was  accepted  with  the  utmost 
reluctance  and  sorrow.  After  some  years  of  study  abroad.  Dr. 
Curtis  accepted  the  call  to  become  Handy  Professor  of  Intel- 
lectual Philosophj'  in  Adelbert  College,  where  lie  now  teaches 
within  sight  of  his  old  pastorate. 

That   there   might    be    no    interruption    to    the    work    so 
auspicioush-    begun,    steps    were   taken    to    immediately  secure 
another   pastor,  and   the   Rev.  James  D.   Williamson,  pastor  of 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Warren,  was  called.     He  ac- 
cepted,   and   entered   upon    his  work 
April  I,    iSSS,    there    being  thus  no 
break  between  the  close  of  Mr.  Curtis' 
pastorate   and  the   beginning    of  Mr. 
Williamson's  service.    Mr.  Williamson 
was   installed  as  pastor  of  the  church 
April   22,   iSSS,  and   still   remains   in 
that  relation. 

During  the  year  1SS9,  the  need  of 
a  church   building  in  addition  to  the 
chapel   began  to  be   urgently   felt,  if 
the  work  of  the  church  was  to  be  suc- 
Rev.  Mattoon  M.  Curtis.  Ph.D.        cessfully    and    vigorously  prosecuted. 

The  matter  was  brought  before  the 
Presb3"terian  Union  at  its  annual  meeting,  held  in  January,  1S90, 
and  the  Union  recommended  that  the  church  be  encouraged  to 
applj-  to  the  churches  for  the  $10,000,  required  to  supplement 
their  own  exertions.  The  work  of  raising  the  amount  required 
was  immediately  undertaken,  but  for  a  time  with  meager  success. 
At  length,  however,  the  Second  Church  very  generously  re- 
sponded to  the  need  with  a  pledge  for  the  entire  S  10,000,  and  this 
having  been  supplemented  with  gifts  from  members  of  other 
Presbj'terian  churches,  the  Society  of  the  Beckwith  Church,  at  a 
meeting  held  April  9,  1S91,  empowered  the  Building  Committee 
to  undertake  at  once  the  construction  of  the  desired  building. 
Plans  prepared  bj'  Mr.  Wm.  W.  Sabin  were  adopted,  and  the 
corner-stone  was  laid  with  appropriate  ceremonies  September  6, 


BECKWITH    MEMORIAL    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH.  1 93 

1891.  The  church  was  completed  in  May,  1892,  and  cost,  ex- 
clusive of  the  organ  and  memorial  window,  about  $26,000.  The 
dedication  took  place  Sunday,  May  15,  1892.  At  the  hour  of 
morning  service  a  farewell  meeting  was  held  in  the  chapel,  at 
which  addresses  were  made  by  the  pastor,  by  the  former  pastor. 
Professor  Curtis,  and  by  two  of  the  early  members  of  the  church. 
Captain  F.  A.  Kendall  and  Professor  Charles  J.  Smith.  The 
dedication  services  proper  were  held  at  3  p.  m..  Dr.  C.  S.  Pome- 
roy  preaching  the  sermon.  Dr.  H.  C.  Haydn  preached  at  the 
evening  service  In  the  erection  and  furnishing  of  the  new 
church  building  the  congregation  is  greatly  indebted,  not  only  to 
the  pastors  and  members  of  the  Second  Church  and  the  Old  Stone 
Church,  but  also  to  the  family  of  the  generous  founder  of  the 
church.  Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  memorial  organ, 
the  gift  of  Mrs.  Beckwith  in  memory  of  her  son,  and  of  the  me- 
morial window,  the  gift  of  Mr.  Beckwith  in  memory  of  his  father. 
This  church  is  in  close  proximity  to  the  educational  center  of 
Cleveland,  and  although  Adelbert  College  is  not  a  denominational 
institution,  it  is  largely  the  product  of  Presbyterian  money  and 
devotion.  Very  fitting,  then,  is  it  that  a  Presbyterian  Church 
has  been  located  near  this  institution  of  learning,  in  which  so 
much  Presbyterian  interest  centers.  There  have  been  received 
into  membership  of  this  church  since  its  organization  about  400 
persons,  and  although  much  of  the  territory,  which  it  was  thought 
would  be  tributary  to  the  church,  remains  to  a  considerable  ex- 
tent unoccupied,  under  the  faithful  labors  of  Mr.  Williamson  and 
his  people,  the  church  is  destined  to  have  a  sure,  if  slow,  de- 
velopment.

Betbany  Presbyterian  gburcb. 


BETHANY  Presbj'terian  Church  is  the  substantial  expression 
of  a  desire  for  Presbyterian  representation  on  the  West  Side, 
and  is  the  last  in  a  series  of  five  attempts  to  accomplish  that 
result.  The  first  was  in  1870,  and  was  unsuccessful.  The  second 
was  in  1873,  when  the  Presbyterian  Union  undertook  to  accom- 
plish it,  but  on  account  of  the  financial  panic  of  that  year  the 
project  was  abandoned.  The  following  3'ear,  1874,  a  third 
attempt  resulted  in  failure.  A  fourth  attempt  was  made  at  a  date 
now  unknown,  when  regular  Sunday  services  and  other  work 
were  maintained  for  six  months,  and  then  abandoned.  The  fifth 
attempt  resulted  in  the  organization  of  Bethany  Church. 

This  successful  movement  was  inaugurated  by  the  Presbyter- 
ian element  residing  on  the  West  side,  and  in  that  respect  differed 
from  the  preceeding  efforts,  to  which  reference  has  been  made. 
The  first  Sunday  in  January,  1888,  forty  children  were  gathered  in 
the  rooms  of  the  Ohio  Business  University  on  Pearl  street,  through 


BETHANY    PRESBYTERIAN    CHURCH.  1 99 

the  efforts  of  Mr.  Charles  Fay,  then  a  ineniljer  of  the  Old  Stone 
Church.  Mr.  'Fay  was  an  earnest  and  warm-hearted  Christian, 
having  a  great  love  for  children,  and  remarkable  power  in  attract- 
ing them  to  him.  In  this  matter  Mr.  Fay  had  labored  under  the 
advice  of  the  Rev.  Wilton  Merle  Smith,  then  associate  pastor  ot 
the  First  Church.  Previous  to  the  organization  of  the  school, 
Mr.  Smith  called  together  the  pastors  of  the  various  West  Side 
churches,  to  whom  he  stated  his  desire  to  establish  a  school  on 
the  West  Side,  first,  because  of  what  seemed  to  him  ah  existing 
need,  and  second  to  provide  Christian  work  for  a  number  of  the 
young  people  of  the  First  Church,  who  were  not  then  engaged  in 
regular  church  work.  To  these  pastors  Mr.  Smith  further  stated 
that  there  was  no  thought  of  establishing  a  Presbyterian  church, 
but  only  of  maintaining  a  mission  vSunday-school  under  the 
auspices  of  the  First  Church.  The  project,  as  outlined  by  Mr. 
Smith,  received  the  most  cordial  endorsement  of  every  pastor 
present  at  that  conference.  The  school  was  then  opened,  as  has 
been  stated.  It  increased  rapidly,  and  at  the  end  of  six  months 
had  an  enrollment  of  nearly  four  hundred. 

At  the  same  time  that  this  work  was  begun,  the  Rev.  Giles  H. 
Dunning  entered  upon  his  duties  as  assistant  pastor  of  the  First 
Church,  and  at  once,  by  direction  of  the  session,  took  charge  of 
the  work.  Frequent  and  earnest  requests  were  made  for  a  Pres- 
byterian preaching  service  in  connection  with  the  school,  and  an 
afternoon  service  was  finally  established.  Then  followed  requests 
for  the  organization  of  a  Presbj^terian  church.  The  matter  was 
reported  to  the  session  of  the  First  Church,  whereupon  Mr. 
Dunning  was  directed  to  canvass  the  West  Side  with  the  view  of 
ascertaining  the  extent  of  this  desire.  The  result  of  this  canvass 
was  such  as  to  lead  the  pastor  and  elders  of  the  First  Church  to 
feel  that  the  time  had  come,  at  last,  for  the  organization  of  a  Pres- 
byterian church  on  the  West  Side.  After  due  deliberation  it  was 
decided  to  recommend  to  the  Presbyterian  Union  that  it  take  the 
work  under  its  fostering  care,  and  proceed  to  efifect  the  organiza- 
tion of  a  church.  The  Union  took  favorable  action  upon  the 
recommendation,  and  with  its  endorsement  and  assurance  of 
financial  aid,  the  p^titioners  presented  their  formal  request  to  the 
Presbytery  of  Cleveland  to  be  erected  into  a  church.  The  re(|uest 
was  granted,  and  Bethany  Church  was  duly  organized,  July  2, 


200  HISTORY    OF   CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

1889,  in  the  rooms  of  the  Ohio  Business  University,  where  the 
mission  school  had  been  organized  just  eighteen  months  before. 
There  were  sixty-one  charter  members,  of  which  number  fifty-six 
joined  by  letter,  twenty-two  from  the  Old  First,  and  the  remain- 
der from  various  other  churches  in  the  cit}^  and  in  different  parts 
of  the  country,  and  Scotland.  Five  came  upon  confession  of 
faith,  and  all  were  Presbyterian  stock.  The  church  continued  to 
worship  in  the  rooms  where  it  was  organized  until  the  following 
February,  i8go,  when  it  moved  into  attractive  quarters  in  the 
new  Wieber  Block,  corner  of  Pearl  and  Jay  streets,  which  it  had 
leased  for  a  term  of  five  years,  and  furnished  at  an  expense  of 
$1,200. 

April  I,  1894,  the  society  purchased  a  lot,  situated  at  the  cor- 
ner of  Gordon  avenue  and  West  Clinton  street,  at  a  cost  of  $4,000. 
This  was  done  upon  the  advice  of  the  Presbyterian  Union,  with 
the  assurance  that  the  Union  would  provide  the  means  for  the 
erection  of  a  chapel  at  a  cost  not  to  exceed  $10,000.  This  en- 
gagement the  Union  has  duly  fulfilled.  The  chapel,  which  has  a 
stone  front  and  brick  side  walls,  was  commenced  September  29, 
1894,  and  was  dedicated  June  2,  1895. 

The  Rev.  Giles  H.  Dunning,  who  was  identified  with  this 
work  almost  from  the  time  of  its  beginning,  as  a  Sunday-school, 
was  called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  church  immediately  after  its 
organization,  and  entered  upon  his  duties  August  i,  1889.  His- 
installation  took  place  September  26,  following.  The  first  officers 
of  the  church  were:  Elders,  Noah  S.  Amstutz,  John  Cameron, 
and  George  Taylor;  Alexander  W.  Calder,  though  not  an  elder, 
was  made  Clerk  of  the  Ses.sion,  and  subsequently  was  elected  an 
elder;  Trustees,  James  McL^earie,  President;  Hugh  Taylor,  Sec- 
retary; T.  W.  Hunt,  Treasurer;  David  Taylor,  John  Smith  and 
James  McKay.  The  trustees  were  also  chosen  to  the  office  of 
deacon.  This  was  adopted  as  a  distinct  line  of  policy  at  the 
beginning,  and  has  been  continued  to  the  present  time.  The 
church  is  well  organized,  having  a  I,adies'  Aid  Society,  which 
has  raised  the  sum  of  $1,295.  This  has  been  expended  in  aid  of 
the  church  and  various  charitable  enterprises. 

Bethany  Church  is  now  finely  located  in  a  new  and'  growing 
community,  and  the  promise  of  a  strong  Presbyterian  Church 
upon  the  West  Side  is  bright.

South  Presbyterian  gburcb. 


THE  histor}^  of  the  South  Presbyterian  Church  is  the  history 
of  the  organization  and  growth  of  a  Mission  Sunday-school. 
In  the  fall  of  1890,  Rev.  William  Gaston,  D.D.,  pastor  of  the 
North  Presbyterian  Church,  preached  three  times  to  a  little  gath- 
ering of  people  upon  the  South  Side,  who  seemed  desirous  of 
organizing  a  Sunday-school,  if  not  a  church,  and  during  October 
of  that  year,  under  the  leadership  of  Rev.  Alonzo  Michael,  a  hall 
was  rented  for  Sunday-school  purposes.  January  i,  1S91,  the 
newly  organized  school  moved  into  the  Benhoff  Block  on  Pearl 
street,  where  it  grew  rapidly.  The  necessity  of  a  church  organiza- 
tion was  soon  felt.  Rev.  Alonzo  Michael  was  a  Presbyterian  min- 
ister living  on  the  South  Side,  without  any  regular  charge  by  rea- 
son of  ill-health,  and  not  being  physically  able  to  assume  the  full 
responsibility  of  such  a  new  work,  the  Presbj'terian  Union  en- 
gaged, in  May,  1891,  Rev.  James  D.  Corwin  to  take  charge  of 


2o6 


HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 


this  work  in  connection  with  that  of  the  Madison  Avenue,  or 
East  End  Mission.  Mr.  Corwin  was  a  native  of  Cleveland,  a 
member  of  the  Woodland  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  and  a 
recent  graduate  of  Adelbert  College,  and  of  Princeton  Seminary. 
Under  the  direction  and  control  of  the  Presbyterian  Union,  and 
with  the  hearty  co-operation  of  the  people  interested  in  this  South 

Side  enterprise,  steps  were  taken 
by  Mr,  Corwin  toward  the  erec- 
tion of  a  church  edifice.  The 
Mission  in  the  meantime  had  been 
crowded  out  of  the  rooms  in  the 
Benhoff  Block,  and  had  moved 
into  the  rooms  of  the  Funeral  Re- 
form Association  on  Pearl  street. 
A  lot  situated  at  the  corner  of 
Scranton  avenue  and  Prame  street 
was  purchased  b}^  the  Union, 
and  upon  it  the  present  church 
building  was  erected.  The  first 
religious  meeting  held  in  this 
building  was  an  early  morning 
prayer-meeting,  New  Year's  day, 
I S92.  At  the  previous  fall  meet- 
ing of  the  Cleveland  Presbyter}^  permission  had  been  given  to 
form  a  Presbyterian  Church,  and  January  21,  1892,  the  Presbyter- 
ial  Committee,  consisting  of  Rev.  Paul 
F.  Sutphen,  D.D.,  and  Elders  R.  F. 
Smith  and  James  A.  Robinson,  duly  or- 
ganized the  South  Presbyterian  Church. 
The  work  now  demanding  the  whole  care 
of  a  minister,  a  call  was  issued  to  Mr. 
Corwin,  who,  up  to  this  time,  had  divided 
his  labors  between  the  two  mission  pro- 
jects, then  under  care  of  the  Presbyterian 
Union.  Mr.  Corwin  was  installed  pastor 
of  this  young  church  May  3,  1892,  but 
his  ministerial  career,  so  earnestly  and 
laboriously  begun,  was  soon   cut   short.

Rev.  Mr.  Michael,  who  had  taken  the  greatest  interest  in  the  early 
work  of  this  organization,  and  who  had  done  what  he  could  to 
cause  it  to  prosper,  died  June  3,  1893.  '^^e  present  pastor,  Rev. 
John  Lr.  Roemer,  was  installed  April  19,  1893,  and  under  his 
energetic,  wise  leadership,  the  church  has  had  a  substantial,  steady 
growth.

Calvary  Presbyterian  gburcb. 


FOR  some  3'ears  prior  to  1878,  a  Union  Sunday-school  had 
been  maintained  on  Euclid  avenue,  beyond  Willsou  avenue, 
when  the  latter  was  tlie  eastern  boundary  of  the  cit}-.  Members 
of  several  churches,  among  whom  were  T.  Dwight  Eells,  H.  B. 
Tuttle  and  others,  were  for  many  years  interested  in  this  mission 
work.  The  growth  of  churches  in  that  direction,  and  the  death 
of  some  of  the  workers  led  to  the  discontinuance  of  the  school. 
In  November,  187S,  Dr.  Haydn,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church,  was  invited  to  reopen  the  work,  and  to  prosecute  it  as  a 
Presbyterian  mission.  This  invitation  was  accepted  as  a  call  of 
Providence.  The  new  movement  began  with  a  weekly  prayer- 
meeting  in  the  chapel,  and  this  was  followed  by  the  organization 
of  a  Sunday-school,  which  was  effected  January  i,  1880,  with 
sevent3'-three    persons    present,    Mr.   L.  W.   Bingham  acting  as

superintendent.  The  school  soon  grew  in  numbers  to  250,  and 
the  old  chapel  having  been  turned  over  to  the  First  Chvirch,  a  lot 
was  secured  at  the  corner  of  Euclid  and  East  Madison  avenues, 
upon  which  the  chapel  was  moved.  Rev.  Rollo  Ogden  was 
called  as  assistant  minister  by  the  First  Church,  and  the  first 
Sunday  of  July,  1880,  church  services  were  commenced.  This 
first  service  was  a  communion  service,  and  members  were  received. 
For  twelve  years  this  organization  was  collegiate  with  the  First 
Church,  sharing  its  ministry,  oversight,  and  generous  co-operation. 
During  this  period  the  new  chapel  of  stone  was  built,  at  a  total 
cost  of  $21,000,  and  dedicated  free  of  debt,  September  30,  1883. 
The  little  wooden  chapel,  that  faced  Euclid  avenue,  was  used 
for  a    primary  Sunday-school,  until  an  annex  was  built  to   the 

stone  chapel,  at  a  cost  of  $5,000  ;  the 
relic  of  other  days  then  gave  way  to  the 
foundation  of  the  elegant  new  church 
edifice,  which  now  occupies  the  corner. 
This  edifice,  begun  in  the  autumn  of 
1887,  was  occupied  for  the  first  time 
January  5,  1890,  and  cost  the  sum  of 
$80,000.  From  the  beginning  of  this 
enterprise,  the  First  Church  had,  be- 
sides sharing  its  ministry,  invested  in 
this  church  over  $40,000.  The  local 
current  expenses,  however,  had  been 
almost  wholl}'  met  by  the  Calvary  con- 
stituency. With  the  rapid  growth  of 
Calvar}^,  it  was  deemed  best  to  abandon  the  collegiate  form  of 
church  life,  that  had  existed  with  the  First  Church.  May  3, 
1892,  Articles  of  Incorporation  were  signed  by  J.  H.  McBride, 
E-  W.  Bingham,  J.  H.  Danforth,  and  J.  E.  Upson,  and  filed  in 
the  office  ot  the  Secretary  of  State,  May  6,  1892.  Sunday  after- 
noon, Ma}'  22,  1892,  the  commissioners  appointed  by  the  Presby- 
tery met  at  Calvary  Church,  and  organized  the  church,  with  308 
members  from  the  First  Church,  two  members  from  the  Wood- 
land Avenue,  and  one  from  the  Case  Avenue  Church,  making  a 
total  of  311  charter  members.  This  meeting  was  addressed  by  a 
number  of  the  ministers  present.  Ma}'  27,  1892,  a  meeting  was 
held  to  adopt  rules  and  regulations  for  the  government  of  the

Achison,  W.  R.  Bartlett.  At  a  meeting  held  February  6,  1893, 
the  church  society  voted  to  call,  for  its  first  pastor,  Rev.  David 
O.  Mears,  D.D.,  of  Worcester,  Mass.  This  call  was  accepted, 
and  Dr.  Mears  preached  his  first  sermon,  as  pastor,  April  23,  1893. 
This  pastorate  was  not  long.  November  17,  1895,  Dr.  Mears 
offered  his  resignation,  and  December  2,  1895,  at  a  special  meeting 
of  the  Presbytery,  the  pastoral  relation  was  dissolved.  During 
Dr.  Mears'  pastorate  there  were  added  to  the  church  membership 
fifty-seven  on  profession  of  faith,  and  243  on  certificate,  making 
the  total  addition  300.  Calvary  Church  is  located  in  the  very 
heart  of  the  East  End,  the  residence  portion  of  Cleveland,  and 
ought  to  become,  not  only  the  strongest  Presbyterian  Church  of 
the  city,  but  of  the  state,  and  one  of  the  most  noted  of  the  Pres- 
byteri-an  Church,  at  large.

THE  Madison  Avenue  Presb3-terian  Church  is  the  outgrowth 
of  a  mission  Sunday-school,  organized  January  6,  1890, 
over  a  saloon  on  Becker  avenue,  by  Rev.  WilHam  Gaston,  D.D., 
pastor  of  the  North  Presbyterian  Church.  Mr.  E.  J.  Climo  was 
appointed  superintendent  of  the  school,  a  position  he  at  present 
occupies.  The  only  other  .superintendent  the  school  has  had 
since  its  organization  was  Mr.  W.  H.  Pancoast,  who  served  a 
short  term  during  the  year  1890.  The  Sunday-.school  moved 
from  the  hall  on  Becker  avenue,  March  30,  1890,  to  a  little  chapel 
on  Lockyear  avenue,  owned  by  a  German  church.  In  February, 
1 89 1,  Rev.  Alonzo  Michael  was  secured  to  preach  Sunday  after- 
noons after  Sunday-school,  but  owing  to  ill-health  he  resigned. 
In  May,  1891,  Rev.  James  D.  Corwin  was  appointed  by  the  Pres- 
byterian Union  to  take  charge  of  the  school,  then  known  as  the

East  End  Mission,  devoting  one-half  of  his  time  to  this  new  work, 
and  one-half  to  the  South  Side  Mission,  which  became,  in  time, 
the  South  Presbyterian  Church.  Mr.  Corwin  accepted  a  call  to 
the  South  Church  in  January,  1892.  The  6th  of  the  following 
May,  Rev.  Charles  E.  Chalfant  took  charge  of  the  East  End 
Mission  under  the  direction  of  the  North  Church  Session,  and  the 
14th  of  September,  1892,  the  Presbytery  granted  a  petition 
for  a  church  organization,  which  was  effected  October  19, 
1892.  The  church  started  with  ninety  charter  members,  of 
which  number  sixty-four  came  from  the  North  Church  and  seven- 
teen upon  confession  of  their  faith,  only  nine  coming  from  other 
churches   by   letter.     Mr.    E.  J.   Climo   was   elected  elder,    and 

installed  by  the  committee  of  Pres- 
bytery, At  the  same  time.  Rev. 
Charles  E-  Chalfant  was  called 
to  the  pastorate,  and  was  installed 
November  10,  1892. 

The  Madison  Avenue  Church 
owes  much  to  the  generous  friends 
in  the  First,  Calvary,  and  North 
Presbyterian  Churches  for  their 
aid  in  securing  a  building. 
Through  the  instrumentality  of 
Dr.  Haydn,  over  $9,000  were 
raised  in  the  First  and  Calvary 
Churches,  and  expended  on  the 
site  and  building,  while  Dr.  Gas- 
ton sent  what  was  still  more  needful  than  a  building,  sixty-five 
members  from  the  North  Church,  into  the  new  organization,  with 
his  encouragement  and  blessing.  The  church  building,  located 
at  the  corner  of  Wade  Park  and  East  Madison  avenues,  was  dedi- 
cated December  4,  1892,  This  structure  is  the  Sundaj^-school 
building,  proper,  of  the  future  church  edifice,  which  will  doubt- 
less occupy  the  whole  lot.  In  the  summer  of  1894,  the  building 
was  enlarged  and  improved,  at  an  expense  of  about  $2,000.  The 
growth  of  this  church  has  been  steady  and  encouraging.  There 
have  been  added  to  the  church  293  members,  over  100  of  whom 
have  been  received  upon  confession  of  faith.  The  Sunday-school 
has  always  been  an  important  department  of  this  church,  and 
reports  over  400  scholars.

The  Boulevard  Branch  Sunday-school  is  a  missionar}'  pro- 
ject of  the  Madison  Avenue  Church,  undertaken  by  the  session 
with  a  view  of  providing  religious  instruction  for  the  people 
living  in  the  vicinity  of  Superior  and  Doan  streets.  The  Sunday- 
school  was  organized  in  the  Parkwood  School-house,  with  a  mem- 
bership of  fifty  teachers  and  scholars.  This  mission  is  the 
youngest  Presbyterian  enterprise  in  the  city,  and  there  is  good 
prospect  of  its  developing  into  an  independent  church  in  the  near 
future.

eicnville  Presbyterian  Cburcb. 


EARLY  in  1S93,  the  Presbyterian  Union  instructed  Rev. 
William  Gaston,  D.D.,  pastor  of  the  North  Presbyterian 
Church,  some  of  whose  members  lived  in  Glenville,  to  look  into 
the  advisability  of  starting  a  church  in  that  locality.  He  there- 
upon held  a  preliminary  meeting  June  11,  1893,  at  the  home  of 
John  A.  Leighton,  on  Ludwig  street.  Thence  followed  a 
cottage  prayer-meeting,  June  15,  at  Dr.  Irwin  C.  Carlisle's  home, 
on  Doan  street.  x\t  that  meeting,  Henry  P.  Winter  was 
appointed  to  act  with  Dr.  Gaston  in  gathering  a  Sunday-school. 
The  first  meeting  of  this  school  was  held  June  25,  1893,  at  the 
old  brick  school-house  situated  at  the  corner  of  St.  Clair  street 
and  Lake  \'iew  avenue,  at  which  forty-three  persons  were  present. 
The  following  Sabbath  the  first  officers  were  elected  They 
were  :  Superintendent.  John  A.  Leighton  ;  Assi.stant  Super- 
intendant,    Henry    P.    Winter:    vSecretary,     Mrs.    Ella    P.   Car-

lisle ;  Treasurer,  Frank  Yost ;  Organist,  George  A.  Yost, 
and  Postmaster,  Frank  L.  Yost.  Seven  teachers  were  chosen. 
The  school  prospered,  and  enjoyed  also  occasional  preaching  by 
Rev.  Dr.  Gaston,  Rev.  Charles  ly.  Chalfant,  and  Rev.  R.  A. 
George.  In  October,  1893,  the  school  rented  the  Glenville 
Disciple  Church  for  Sunday  afternoons,  and  there  enjoyed  preach- 
ing services  after  Sunday-school  by  the  above  named  ministers, 
also,  by  Rev.  Arthur  J.  Waugh,  Rev.  Professors  Cleaveland  and 
Curtis,  Dr.  Hall,  Dr.  Haydn,  Dr.  Bushnell,  Rev.  William  Knight, 
Rev.  J.  Iv  Roemer,  Rev.  Arthur  C.  I,udlow,  Rev.  John  A.  Sey- 
mour, and  other  members  of  the  Presbj'tery,  preaching  in  turn. 

At  the  suggestion  and  through 
the  influence  of  Rev.  H.  C, 
Haydn,  D.D.,  this  mission  was 
organized  by  a  committee  of  the 
Presbytery  into  the  Glenville 
Presbyterian  Church,  June  10, 
1 894.  There  were  thirty-six  char- 
ter members,  and  Rev.  Charles 
L-  Zorbaugh  was  given  charge 
of  the  work,  together  with  that 
of  the  Windermere  congregation, 
the  Presbyterian  Union  bearing 
part  of  the  expense.  Messrs. 
John  A.  Ivcighton,  Henr}^  P. 
Winter,  and  Dr.  Irwin  C.  Car- 
lisle were  elected  and  ordained 
ruling  elders.  In  order  to  have  morning  services,  the  Town  Hall 
was  then  engaged.  In  the  meantime,  two  lots  at  the  corner  of 
Doan  and  Helena  streets  were  secured,  with  funds  sufficient  to 
commence  the  erection  of  a  chapel.  Plans  prepared  by  William 
W.  Sabin  were  adopted,  and  a  fine  chapel  was  erected.  The 
society  having  been  incorporated  June  16,  1894,  the  incorporators 
met  June  26,  following,  and  elected  as  President  of  the  Society, 
Charles  H.  Moore  ;  Vice-President,  John  H.  Beattie  ;  Secretary, 
Henry  P.  Winter;  and  as  Trustees,  Messrs.  Frank  Yost,  Z.W.  Mor- 
ris, C.  H.  Moore,  J.  A.  Patton,  H.  W.  Leighton,  A.  H.  Hinshil- 
wood,  and  Dr.  I.  C.  Carlisle.  A  building  committee  was  ap- 
pointed, and    by  its   vigorous   action   the  chapel    was  begun  in 


Rev.  Theodore  Y.  Gardner.

August,  1894,  and  joyfully  dedicated  May  12,  1895.  This  happy 
consummation  was  very  largely  due  to  the  substantial  gifts  of 
such  generous  friends  as  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Samuel  Mather,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Iv.  H.  Severance,  Rev.  H.  C.  Haydn,  D.D.,  Judge  Samuel 
E.Williamson,  Mrs.  C.  W.  Bingham,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  P. 
Williams,  Mr.  Samuel  A.  Raymond,  Mrs.  Amasa  Stone,  and 
Mrs.  D.  B.  Chambers.  Rev.  Charles  L.  Zorbaugh  having  decided 
to  take  the  work  at  Windermere,  the  Glenville  Church  called,  as 
its  first  pastor.  Rev.  Theodore  Yale  Gardner.  Mr.  Gardner  began 
to  supply  the  pulpit  June  23,  1895,  became  pastor-elect  August 
I  St,  and  was  installed  by  committee  of  Cleveland  Presbytery, 
October  30,  1895.  There  is  a  bright  future  before  this  young 
church,  located  as  it  is  in  a  suburb  that  is  destined  to  become,  in 
time,  a  populous  residence  portion  of  Cleveland.

mmaermere  Presbyterian  Cburcb, 


THE  Windermere  Presbyterian  Church,  as  well  as  other 
younger  Presbyterian  churches  in  Cleveland,  owes  its 
inception  to  the  far-seeing  action  of  Rev.  H.  C.  Hadyn,  D.  D., 
pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church.  In  the  fall  of  1892, 
noticing  the  drift  of  population  toward  East  Cleveland,  or  what 
was  formerly  known  as  CoUamer,  Dr.  Hadyn  purchased  a  lot  at 
the  south-eastern  corner  of  Euclid  avenue  and  Windermere  street. 
This  point  is  about  mid-way  between  Lake  View  Cemetery  and 
East  Cleveland  hamlet,  where  the  oldest  church  in  the 
Cleveland  Presbytery  is  located.  Far  enough  away  from  the 
East  Cleveland  Church  as  not  to  seriously  weaken  its  life,  this 
chapel  stands  in  a  region  that,  with  present  rapid  transit,  is 
destined  to  be  occupied  by  residences.  The  Presbyterian  Union, 
recognizing  the  strategic  character  of  the  location,  as  related  to 
the  growth  of   Presbyterianism,  assumed  care  of  the    enterprise. 


240 


HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 


and  under  its  auspices  the  chapel  was  constructed,  and  opened  to 
the  pubHc  May  6,  1894,  the  total  cost  of  the  lot  and  building 
being  $7,289.  The  property  was  entrusted  to  the  charge  of  a 
committee  of  the  Union,  consisting  of  Messrs.  S.  F.  Adams, 
C.  H.  Fuller,  W.  C.  McEwen  and  J.  D.  Chambers. 

About  this  time  the  Glenville  Presbyterian  Mission  was  also 
formed,  and  the  two  fields  were  associated,  and  placed  under  the 
ministerial  care  of  Rev.  Charles  L.  Zorbaugh,  who  was  called  to 
the  work  from  the  graduating  class  of  McCormick  Theological 
Seminary.  For  a  year  the  work  at  Windermere  was  conducted 
under  this  joint  arrangement,  at  first  with  only  a  small  Sunday- 
school  and  praj'er-meeting,  but 
later  with  Sunday  evening  preach- 
ing service.  The  situation  was 
unique,  as  the  chapel  was  neither 
a  mission,  nor  yet  a  church. 
Practically  it  was  an  independent 
preaching  station,  waiting  to 
provide  future  comers  with  a 
church  home.  It  had  not  long 
to  wait.  In  May,  1895,  the  Pres- 
byterians of  Glenville  entered 
their  beautiful  chapel,  and  parted 
company  with  Windermere,  and 
the  latter  now  carried  on  all  the 
regular  services  of  a  church, 
though  still  with  very  few  wor- 
shipers. The  summer  and  fall  brought  new  families  to  the 
neighborhood,  and  new  faces  to  the  chapel,  and  the  growing 
demand  for  a  church  home  resulted  in  the  organization  of  the 
Windermere  Presbyterian  Church,  January  5,  1896,  with  a  char- 
ter membership  of  thirty.  Rev.  Mr.  Zorbaugh  was  called  to  the 
pastorale  of  this  young  church,  and  was  installed  February  10, 
1896.  The  young  church  begins  life  under  happy  auspices.  Its 
offices  are  splendidly  manned  with  tried  workers,  a  Christian  En- 
deavor Societ}'  has  been  organized,  and  the  ladies  are  doing 
efficient  work.  The  indications  point  to  a  rapid  growth  of  popu- 
lation, which,  by  the  hand  of  God,  means  for  this  church  the 
opening  of  a  great  and  effectual  door  of  service.

Bolton  Jlvenue  Pre$bvterlan  Cburcb. 


THE  Bolton  iA. venue  Presbyterian  Church,  the  youngest  of  the 
church  organizations  connected  with  the  Cleveland  Presby- 
tery, is  an  outgrowth,  or  rather  an  extension  of  the  collegiate 
system,  under  which  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  existed  for  a 
number  of  years.  During  the  summer  and  fall  of  1890,  through 
the  labors  of  Dr.  Hadyn,  and  others  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church,  a  chapel  was  erected  upon  the  rear  of  a  lot,  situated  at  the 
corner  of  Bolton  and  Cedar  avenues.  The  cost  of  the  lot  and 
chapel,  about  $15,000,  was  wholly  met  by  the  two  congregations 
of  the  First  Church.  This  made  the  First  Church  a  collegiate 
organization  with  three  congregations,  namely,  the  Old  Stone, 
Calvary,  and  the  Bolton  Chapel.  The  first  preaching  service  in 
Bolton  Chapel  was  held  the  first  Sunday  in  January,  1S91, 
and  was  conducted  by  Dr.  Haydn.      Services  were  then  regularly

conducted  b}^  Dr.  Haydn,  the  senior  pastor  of  the  First  Church, 
and  by  the  associate  pastors,  Reverends  Burt  K.  Howard,  Joseph 
H.  Selden,  and  William  Knight,  until  July,  1892,  when  the  Rev. 
R.  A.  George  was  employed  by  the  officers  of  the  First  Church 
to  take  charge  of  the  Bolton  Chapel.  This  new  enterprise  grew 
rapidly,  and  during  the  years  1893-4,  ^  "^w  church  edifice  was 
erected.  Plans  prepared  by  William  W.  Sabin  were  adopted,  and 
the  corner-stone  was  laid  with  appropriate  ceremonies  May  21, 
1892,  and  the  building  was  dedicated  November  8,  1894.  The 
cost  of  this  l)uilding  was  about  v^ 2 5, 000.     In   the  meantime  the 

congregation  had  been  rent  in 
twain  in  the  spring  of  1S94,  when 
more  than  half  of  the  members, 
and  a  still  greater  part  of  the 
Sunday-school,  withdrew^  with 
Mr.  George  to  form  a  Congrega- 
tional church.  The  immediate 
cause  of  this  division  was  the 
attempt,  on  the  part  of  the  offi- 
cers of  the  First  Church,  to  end 
the  term  of  supply  of  Mr.  George, 
who  had  never  been  installed  as 
associate  pastor,  in  the  hope  of 
securing  a  permanent  pastor,  in 
whom  the  parish  might  be  fully 
united,  for  the  new  church.  A 
call  was  extended  in  June,  1S94,  to  the  Rev.  John  S.  Zelie,  pastor 
of  the  Congregational  Church  at  Plymouth,  Conn.,  who  the  fol- 
lowing month  became  associate  pastor  of  the  First  Church,  in 
charge  of  Bolton  Chapel.  The  Chapel  continued  its  work,  until 
it  became  strong  enough  to  separate  from  the  First  Church,  the 
collegiate  system  having  been  abandoned.  The  independent 
church  organization  was  formed  May  3,  1896,  when  171  members 
of  the  First  Church  withdrew  by  letter  to  form  the  Bolton  Avenue 
Presbyterian  Church.  The  same  day,  May  3,  1896,  Rev.  John  vS. 
Zelie  was  installed  by  a  committee  of  Presbytery,  as  first  pastor, 
and  under  his  gifted  ministry,  the  church  cannot  but  prosper. 


Rev.  John  Sheridan  Zelie.

Some  Presbyterian  facts. 

IN  1630,  the  first  Presbyterian  minister  in  x-lmerica,  Rev.  Richard 
Denton,  settled  in  Massachusetts.  In  1643,  Rev.  Francis 
Doughty  held  services  in  New  York  City,  and  in  1644,  the  first 
Presbyterian  congregation  was  formed  at  Hemstead,  L-  I.,  N.  Y., 
in  charge  of  Mr.  Denton.  In  1683,  Rev.  Francis  Makemie  began 
his  work  in  Maryland.  The  first  Presbytery  was  formed  in  1705, 
and  twelve  years  later  the  first  Synod  was  formed  at  Philadel- 
phia. In  1775,  the  General  Synod  issued  a  pastoral  letter  sus- 
taining the  Continental  Congress,  and  in  1788,  the  Constitution 
of  the  Church  was  adopted  by  the  General  Synod.  The  follow- 
ing year,  1789,  the  first  General  Assembly  met  at  Philadelphia. 
The  Cumberland  Presbyterian  Church  was  organized  in  18 10,  and 
in  1838,  the  Presb^^terian  Church  divided  into  the  Old  and  New 
School  branches.  The  Presbyterian  Church  South  organized  at 
Augusta,  Ga.,  in  1861,  and  in  1869,  the  Old  and  New  School 
branches  were  reunited.  With  all  these  changes  the  Presby- 
terian Church  has  become  one  of  the  largest  and  most  influential 
churches  in  the  land.  There  were  reported  at  the  General  As- 
sembly at  Pittsburgh,  May,  1895,  3^  Synods;  224  Presbyteries; 
6,797  Ministers;  454  Licentiates;  215  I^ocal  Evangelists;  1,477 
Candidates;  7,496  Churches;  26,590  Elders;  9,058  Deacons;  67- 
938  members  added  on  examination;  38,734  members  added  by 
certificate,  making  a  total  membership  of  922,904.  The  Sunday- 
school  membership  was  994, 793.  The  Congregational  expenses 
of  the  churches  for  that  year  were  $9,921,141,  while  the  benevo- 
lent contributions  amounted  to  $3,726,438.  There  are  thirteen 
denominations  in  the  United  States  that  have  the  Presbyterian 
form  of  government,  with  a  total  membership  of  1,798,365,  while 
in  the  whole  world  there  are  about  30,000,000  adherents  to  the 
Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Churches,  which  number  ninety 
branches,  many  of  which  are  members  of  the  Presbyterian  Alliance. 
The  Presbyterian  Church  North  has  established  in  the  United 
States   about    seventy-five    higher   institutions  of  learning,    and 


Wooster   University.

278  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERIANISM. 

much  Presbyterian  money  has  been  given  to  undenominational 
colleges. 

In  the  State  of  Ohio,  which  has  one  Synod,  there  were  re- 
ported at  the  meeting  of  Synod  at  Chillicothe,  October,  1895,  17 
Presbyteries;  522  Ministers;  26  lyicentiates;  160  Candidates;  639 
Churches;  2,761  Elders;  880  Deacons;  94,618  communicants, 
and  84,694  Sunday-school  scholars.  The  congregational  expen- 
ses of  the  churches  were  ^859,806,  while  there  were  given  to  be- 
nevolent and  miscellaneous  work  $415,000. 

In  educational  work  Ohio  Presbyterians  have  contributed  to 
the  establishment  and  maintenance  of  Western  Reserve,  Marietta, 
Miami,  Oxford,  Muskingum,  and  Wooster  Colleges.  Wooster 
University,  founded  in  1870,  is  owned  and  controlled  by  the  Synod 
of  Ohio.  This  thriving  institution  is  located  at  Wooster,  O-,  and 
we  give  herewith  pictures  of  the  main  building,  and  of  Hoover 
Cottage,  recently  erected  for  the  accommodation  of  j'oung  ladies. 
This  latter  building  is  the  gift  of  the  late  Frederick  G.  Hoover, 
of  Sandusky.  Rev.  Sylvester  F.  Scovel.  D.D.,  formerly  a  well- 
known  pastor  of  Pittsburgh,  is  the  honored  President  of  this 
University,  wdiich  has  accomplished  much  for  Presbyterianism  in 
the  quarter  century  of  its  existence.  The  graduates  of  the  Col- 
legiate Department  number  about  800,  and  the  number  of  minis- 
ters and  missionaries  graduated  equals  more  than  forty  per  cent, 
of  all  male  graduates.  Ohio  Presbyterians  have  one  theological 
school,  Lane  Seminary,  founded  in  1829,  at  Cincinnati.  Dr. 
Lyman  Beecher  was  the  first  President,  and  Professor  of  Theol- 
ogy in  this  institution.  Many  prominent  men  have  occupied  the 
chairs  of  instruction.  At  present,  the  institution  is  passing 
through  a  transition  period.  Rev.  E.  D.  Morris,  D.D.,  L.L.D., 
being  the  only  one  of  the  older  Professors  upon  whose 
shoulders  has  rested  of  late  the  chief  responsibility  of  providing 
instruction  for  the  increasing  number  of  students.  With  the 
new  corps  of  teachers,  there  is  every  prospect  for  the  restoration 
of  this  Theological  Seminary  to  its  former  usefulness  and  power. 


FINIS. 


BETWKIvN  the  Preface  and  the  Finis  of  this  book,  there  lies  a 
varied  experience.  The  book  has  been  a  growth.  The 
original  plan  has  been  subject  to  many  changes,  making 
the  work  better,  we  hope.  The  first  scope  of  the  project  was  a 
general  history  and  directory  of  the  Presbyterian  churches  of 
Cleveland;  later  this  was  enlarged  to  embrace  the  Presbytery,  by 
the  introduction  of  the  articles  in  the  fore-part  of  the  book,  touch- 
ing the  churches  outside  the  city.  Before  the  end  was  reached, 
it  was  deemed  best  to  add  the  directory  of  the  latter  churches,  and 
so  the  .separation  of  their  material  occurred. 

A  word  as  to  the  pictures  in  the  book.  Wishing  to  present 
pictures  of  representative  Presbyterian  laymen,  and  being  unable 
to  select  a  few  from  so  large  a  number,  we  extended  an  invitation 
to  all  the  officers  of  the  churches  to  send  their  photographs,  and 
in  order  to  have  the  good  lady  workers  of  our  churches  repre- 
sented, appeal  for  pictures  was  made  to  the  past  and  present 
officers  of  the  Presbyterial  Missionary  Societies.  The  ministers' 
pictures  are  tho.se  of  the  present,  and  ex-pastors,  and  of  the  pres- 
ent members  of  the  Presbytery,  who  are  not  pastors  of  any  of 
the  churches.  It  was  utterly  impo.ssible  to  extend  this  feature  of 
the  book  .so  as  to  embrace  the  many  prominent  officers  of  the 
churches,  who  are  no  longer  living,  or  to  include  former  members 
of  the  Presbytery.  This  will  explain  why  many,  whose  memory 
will  ever  be  reverenced  in  the  different  churches,  are  not  here 
represented. 

That  there  are  mistakes,  in  a  work  of  this  nature,  is  to  be 
expected.  A  few^  are  most  aggravating.  P'or  example,  the  name 
of  Mr.  Louis  H.  Severance,  under  his  picture  at  the  beginning  of 
the  article  on  the  Presbyterian  Union,  has  been  printed  Lewis,  in- 
stead of  Louis.  The  name  having  been  first  mis-.spelled  in  an 
old  article  on  the  Presbyterian  Union,  it  naturally  crept  into  the 
manuscript,  and  was  not  discovered  until  too  late  to  be  corrected. 
Considering  the  sources   of  information,    and   the   condition    of 


28o  HISTORY    OF    CLEVELAND    PRESBYTERTANISM. 

much  of  the  material  from  which  this  book  has  been  compiled,  it 
has  proved  an  immense  task  to  present  it  in  its  present  form. 
We  wish  to  return  thanks  to  all  who  have  kindly  aided  in  anj^ 
wa}',  and  notwithstanding  the  imperfections  of  the  work,  we 
hope  that  the  book  may  crystallize  much  historical  matter  which 
will  be,  in  years  to  come,  a  help  to  some  future  historian  of 
Cleveland  Presbyterianism.  Setting  forth,  as  the  book  does,  the 
combined  power  of  the  Cleveland  Presbytery,  in  the  Centennial 
year  of  the  city  whose  name  the  Presbytery  bears,  may  it  prove  a 
stimulus  to  all  members  of  the  churches  to  labor  more  earnestly 
for  the  advancement  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ.  If  this  be  the 
case,  our  labor  will  not  have  been  in  vain.
